confused:benefits vs. indefinite leave to remain application

Post by Frazzled » Mon Sep 30, 2013 3:12 pm

Hi,

I'm in the middle of trying to complete my set (M) form for the indefinite leave to remain. I'm still a bit confused regarding the benefits section and would appreciate any advice.

My husband is a British Citizen and we have a 2 year old daughter. The child benefit is claimed under his name as my spouse visa states that I have no recourse to public funds. However, he also claimed child tax credit but its under a joint name.

I've been here for 2 years and wasn't working the first year because of the baby. Then, the year after I went to university to do my Masters. Both my husband and I are self-funding ourselves through savings.

Would any of this affect my application?

Also what should I put in the application in regards to the public funds, when in actuality I'm not the one claiming it and it goes to my husband.

Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
