My wife who is currently on a 2 year Settlement Visa is 8 months pregnant. I am a British national and want to know whether our baby needs to be included in the ILR Set M form as a dependant who is applying with you ?
Also my wifes, midwife filled in and sent off the Health in Pregnancy Grant Form on her behalf. There was no mention of this on the forms as a `public fund` so it was sent off. My wife did tick the bit where it asked whether she was under immigration control and wrote a covering letter with the form mentioning this and that she was `recourse to public funds and wasn't sure whether this grant was classed as a public fund.
5 weeks later my wife decided to ring the HIP helpline and asked the progress of her application. They said it was incomplete and so it was not processed. She mentioned she was on a visa. They said they will pass this on to the Home Office and they will ring or write to you. We want to know whether they will view this in breach of immigation rules as she applied for the grant, obviously not knowing whether it was a public fund. We have not been in receipt of the money but will this affect when she comes to apply for ILR ?
Thanks.
