Hiya, So long story short, bullet points style. - I'm British, sponsor, husband. - Had solicitor to apply for wife visa on Jan 2019. - Saw the main application form at that time. - Wife came on April 2019. - Few months after, lost my job so claimed Universal Credit benefit but I only got funds for m...
Hello, My wife's spouse visa extension is due in few months (5 years rout) My contracted earning is just over 18600. English requirement is fine by UK Naric. We have 2 British children living with us. (I'm British too) At the moment claiming only child benifit (when applied for, I've mentioned in t...
Hi, If you apply universal credit, you have to make a joint application, but when they interview your spouse you should make it clear in biographical interview or similar she is ineligible due to being on a spouse visa. Both names will still remain on application,, but they will write you a letter ...
As long as she had the proof she told the DWP she was under immigration control but they still paid it, it will not affect her visa. She would still be required to pay this money back.

To answer the first question, I can't remember what I put in the UC application as it was done back in 2019 but most likely, I've put (on the advice of U.C. themselves over the phone) that I do not have a partner. UC agent said that had I put that I had a partner, then their system may accidentally...
Yes, it is pointless to blame others. I took advice from UC agent themselves as well as forums. From forums alone I wouldn't make a decision. I should've also checked with my solicitor. Also, I assumed my landlord would notify my council about another adult living in my home (my wife). I checked my...
Oh right, I put as Single claimant and I think I put that I'm the only one who lives in the house. And you're right, I should've mentioned her name, but didn't. Just seen your reply. So you claimed benefits as a single person/parent? It's pointless trying to blame forums/others for you putting this...
Even though my U.C. claim has ended, I don't think they will add her name unless I reopen my Universal Credit claim for which I won't as I'm worried her spousal visa extension on a 5 year route will be affected. So what should I do in this case? You didn't take any extra money for your wife and the...
Then I think I should call U.C. now and inform them. They may fine me for (according to their side) false information but I've done what I've been told on forums and directly from U.C. themselves. Otherwise had I know about what you just told me, I of course would've mentioned to U.C. You chose to ...
I see. No-one has told me this when I raised the question back in 2019. I gave you the Universal Credit link in your thread, that clearly showed that you must claim as a couple. https://www.immigrationboards.com/claiming-benefits/can-i-claim-jsa-and-or-housing-benefits-while-wife-is-on-spouse-visa-...
See the post I've made before. https://www.immigrationboards.com/claiming-benefits/can-i-claim-jsa-and-or-housing-benefits-while-wife-is-on-spouse-visa-t279780.html Where I gave you this link to Universal Credit https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit that states- If you live with your partner Your par...
I had to claim Universal Credit (as a single person - never mentioned about my wife) to cover for my personal expenses as well as household expenses. Why did you pretend to be single when your wife lived with you?! 1. Definition of a couple The Department for Work and Pensions counts 2 people as be...
I had to claim Universal Credit (as a single person - never mentioned about my wife) to cover for my personal expenses as well as household expenses. No it's not pretend. U.C. said that I have to claim as single as my wife cannot get recourse to public funds. And before claiming U.C. I asked forums...

Hi, So my wife's extension is due on 02nd Jan 2022 (first time). I am British born sponsor. Due to the pandemic throughout 2020, I was barely getting any shifts from my zero hours contract employment. I had to claim Universal Credit (as a single person - never mentioned about my wife) to cover for m...
No it's not pretend. U.C. said that I have to claim as single as my wife cannot get recourse to public funds. And before claiming U.C. I asked forums online such as this website if it is fine to claim as a single person, all have said it's fine. I have also found out that a joint claim must be made ...

Hi, I am a British Born Citizen. Looking to extend my wife's existing spousal visa as her 2.5 years probationary period will expire on 02nd January 2022. I am starting a new job on next week Monday 21st December 2020. It's a Zero Hours Contract role but the shift is projected to run until 23rd Decem...
Hiya. I'm typing this message on behalf of my British father who has a second wife in Bangladesh and currently in the process of applying for a British Passport for his son from that second wife. Below is his message: "Hi there, I have applied for a British Passport for my second wife's son. I submi...
Your title talks about claiming JSA. If you have been working for the relevant tax years you can claim New Style JSA, the new name for what was called Contribution Based JSA. As that is based on working contributions, it's not means tested and does not take into account your or your wife's savings,...
I see. For my retail job, my manager informed me that they're closing down in a few months time but they intend to transfer me to another branch. However, that's all the way in Portsmouth and I live in London. Hence I'm solely going to rely on my NHS zero hour contract job but I won't get regular sh...
Hi, Long story short. Wife's visa has just been accepted. Been working for NHS for 3 years but I'm one of those who's shift will be reduced to part time after 2 months. Just wondering, after 2 months, can I claim Housing Benefit under my name until I look for a full time job? If so, would this affec...
Hi, My wife applied for her spouse visa from Bangladesh (we had a solicitor to help us with this) and submitted her biometric date on 21st January 2019. It has been past 60 days now (04th April 2019) and I still haven't heard from Home Office. I'm now thinking to email them to escalate it but some p...
