1.I am filling the chaild benifit application form on section 19 it said Are you subject to immigration control now or have you been at any time in the last six month? .What can be the Answer please clarify You write 'YES' because you were subject to immigration control prior to ILR.

2.As my wife is not allowed any public fund what should i do on her part .Should i put my detail on first part and her detail on second part please clarify me. YOU are the claimant. You have to write your spouses details in the relevant part of the form.

Child tax credit:
3.As we both working and our combined yearly income is aprrox 23000.Am i allowed to apply child tax credit. If you qualify then yes. You MUST claim child tax credits in JOINT names with your spouse.
4.If allowed how to apply Google HMRC Child tax credits.


Housing:
5.The place i am living at the moment is shared house i just rent a double room.It is geeting difficult for me to live in one double room with a family.I just recenly moved in this place 7 month ago this place from another borough.I was living the other borough was quite long time.
6.Am i allowed to apply for social housing or housing benifit YOU can claim housing benefit and should get the single + child rate. Your combined income will be used to calculate what you can get. Unlikely you will get a council house or social housing, the waiting lists are very long, in some areas the waiting list is years.
7.If yes Will those benifit effect on her application to stay in the UK. Not if you claim correctly.
See the benefit calculator link below. It should give you an estimate of what you can claim. Select that you are 'British' to do the assessment.

2. No, because your partner isn't entitled to CB.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
