Husband on ILR, wife still on Tier 2 (G) Spouse

Post by longgapilr » Tue Sep 05, 2017 10:09 pm

Hi, I recently got the ILR but my wife and kids are still on Tier 2 (General) Spouse/Dependant visa. My wife is a housewife and one of my kids was born in the UK.

If I start claiming benefits, can this have a negative effect on my wife's ILR application?

Not if you claim under your name.

Yes, one of them was born in the UK when we were still on Tier 2 (General) before the ILR. The other one was born outside the UK.

The one born in the UK is eligible to register as British Citizen

Child benefits must be claimed in your name only.

Tax credits must be claimed in JOINT names with your spouse.

My children are still on Tier 2 (General) Dependant visa. If I claim child benefits, will this not impact negatively their ILR/citizenship applications?

The children are not claiming, YOU are.

Tax credits MUST be claimed in JOINT names. Not doing so is fraud/deception because you are NOT single. No effect on ILR.
