It is usually decided within reasonable time, after they get the requested documents

Hello Zimba. My husband signed the declaration online. Is is acceptable? Or it is necessary to print it, sign and scan it?
Thank you

Hi everyone! I had my ILR (SET M) biometrics on the 19th of November using Super Priority service. Next day I received an email from the caseworker asking me to send via email the "Family Declaration" form that | apparently forgot to upload with the application. I've just sent it straight away to ...

Hi all. Can I apply for Super Priority Service for my Spouse Visa ILR 28 days early? I arrived in the UK on December 14, 2020.

Hi everyone, I took my IELTS test at an approved test center in Moscow and achieved a B1 level. I have already used this test for my initial spouse visa and its extension.

Just saw the below article which says that the government is going to change the ILR rule from 5 years to 10 years living in the country. I moved to the UK on a spouse visa in December 2020 and about to apply for ILR in January 2026, and I am curious whether I will be still eligible for ILR under 5 ...

If you are short of £X to meet the requirement, then the minimum cash saving you need will be (£16,000 + £X) So if you need to rely fully on cach savings, you need minimum cash savings of £16,000 + £18,600 = £34,600 or if you have an annual income of £1000, then you are short of £8,600 to meet the r ...

For example, my income is £18000. How much savings do I need to meet the requirements?

Hi all!

Can I use income and cash savings (combined) to apply for ILR? How can I calculate how much savings do I need? What is the formula ?

Thank you

Thank you. They told us that the letter is for both of us just for information . However the reference number for debt repayment is my husbands NI number , not mine. Hope it’s ok

Why has he been overpaid? Has he repaid the overpayment? Insofar as you failed the HRT and it’s a single claim, then you don’t get UC and they shouldn’t be trying to collect from you,

We just received this letter on Friday and it’s on my name

We have been explained that they will track information about my income online in the real time with HMRC , I’m in full time employment and my husband does not need to report it. Later they told us that they didn’t receive information about my income and my husband should have reported it to them ( t ...

Yes, you need to declare your income. His benefits is based on household income even if you cannot get benefits yourself.
