Your're welcome.

Three months after I went back, I'd found an employer in UK and came back to UK on a new Visa (Employee sponsored long term Visa). Now, My question is... from w...

If I apply for a fresh Tier 2 ICT or Tier 2 general then Again I need to be in the UK for 5 years before I apply for ILR. Tier 2 ICT does not lead to settlement (ILR) Tier 2 General could maybe after 5 years, but like Simon says ('scus the pun) I also thought there might be a 12 month cooling off p...

You can only claim as a single person and get the single person rate. Your wife is not entitled to claim any benefits BUT her income (if she works) will be used in conjunction with yours to calculate what you qualify for. And as you are under age 35, you can only claim the Shared Accommodation Rate...

If you did and are planning to work in the UK, there is the Ancestry visa for Australain citizens, which would mean that your British spouse wouldn't have to sponsor you and the...

I'm still wondering how a 14 yerar old German child can be exercising treaty rights of free movement in the UK. Is there something for EEA children to move to the UK? Is he not classed as 'studying'? If it does, then wouldn't the parents need to buy a Comprehensive Sickness Insurance for him? I ass...

I don't suppose by any chance that your husband is able to claim carer's allowance for your son? No. Without a DLA award at a certain level, there is no CA, but he can't have DLA because - - have lived in Great Britain for 2 of the last 3 years, if over 3 years old -be habitually resident in the UK...

I agree. They would only have given permission to the spouse or unmarried partner of their tenenat.

With ILR she can claim in her name to get her NI contributions.
I believe that as you have been outside the UK for more than 12 months, there is a 3 month wait.

I'm not sure what you need to send, but that information should be on the claim form.

Rights to stay doesn't mean rights to work. Nor a right to welfare, free NHS, free education or social housing anymore either. We already know that for the last 5 years, because of the ever increasing massive rises in the UK's annual welfare bill, the UK have been recording where welfare claimants ...
