ASKING FOR "NO RECOURSE TO PUBLIC FUNDS". TO BE CHANGED

Post by convenantkeepingGod » Fri Jun 27, 2014 6:07 pm

Hi,

Has anyone requested for a change on her stay conditions no recourse to public funds to be removed ?
I'm contemplating doing that because for now 2months I have been unable to work , was sign off work by my consultant and won't be able to work anytime soon .
I'm currently on statutory sick pay which is £87.55 per week.not enough to cover all our living.
I just received my BRP and want to send to them to request an access to public funds.
I'm a bit worried that they will keep it .I searched the internet to find anyone who has requested this and have been successfull.to no avail.
Can anyone advise please?
Also sorry off topic I have been here for 13 years , can I apply for ILR once I have been here for 20 years or do I have to complete the whole 10 years ?

Thank you

Amber

Yes you are. Even when I was illegal I was working ( please dont ask me how), not as I was now but I wasn't just sitting in the house. The reason why I asked about the benefits it is because I m currently dealing with some issues and have been signed off work. Dont make it sound as if my aim is just benefits, ukvi will not just change your conditions of stay if there is no merits.I have all the medical papers to show my current condition and my inability to work. so dont try to read between the lines. I'm not much worried about me. But this is another story. And to be honest I'm contemplating different from doing it .But let me be clear so that you wont miss anything God forbids but if im in a place where my child and I are struggling I will gladly wants benefits as you put it because he is also british and have the right to enjoy as other british children. God forbids us getting to this point. Thank you for reading. I hope you will never be in place in your life where you have to claim benefits for whatever reasons.

Right so think this way .

If suppose they refuse your visa than?

U will carry on with your life as before (working illegaly).

U should be thankful to GOD and HO that they legalize your stay in this country.

If i am in your shoe i will never do that.

Someone gives u a piece of apple but u want to grab whole apple.

It sounds greedy is in it?

If you can show destitution or in the interest of the child's welfare. They can change the conditions on your leave by completing the necessary form.

First of all big congratulation for your stay. After 20 years need to wait another 10 years for ILR so total 30 years for ILR. Its ridiculous what can we do? nothing its their law. As @zeeali rightly said, if you run behind the benefit you will be trouble in future for your visa extension, so stick in the rules and work hard, you lucky you got a stay, we people begging for this stay to home office. All the best.

Hi shondra,
thank you for the congrats. I'm not running behind benefits.lol If you read my posts you will notice that I have been working but I have to stop because of some health issues. I didn't sign myself off, my consultant did.
My workplace will not take me back even if I beg them to until the doctor gives the ok.
even if I apply for another job I will still be asked for any medical condition, and this will start the whole ball rolling again.
At this time , by God's grace im not in a very desperate situation. I want to know my options if ever I get to this point. But I understand you. You will also rejoice Shondra , delay is not denial. Be strong.

Get detail about this with the solicitor or you can ask home office for clarify, what they can do for you? or what you can do within the rules?

Thank you dearest. Hugs to you. Only God knows what you are going through. I love this quote from Churchill :"when you going through hell, keep going"
Dont give up.
I will see if I have other options than benefits . I really hope I have some because I know(yes zee ali I know lol) that claiming can turn into a vicious circle where you find yourself hooked". So will look into other options too as you have suggested.
I look forward to hear your success story. Thank care hun.xoxo

Sorry I'm later have you managed to resolve the issue if not you can use this form https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... NRPF10.pdf
And you need to prove your are destitute which in my opinion I believe you are. If you have already removed the conditions please explain to us the process you had to follow and if you haven't the link above is how you can process this. Hope it's successful for you guys
