Thank you bluebird12.I came here before July 2012 but LIUK test held me up.So I waited 5 years as I only say for LIUK test on February 2017.My FLR (M) ran out on 18 May 2017 so we applied for ILR as you can see in my post it's invalid they said.What's £20,000 fee?Is that for ILR?I don't think I can tell my husband about that,at moment he feels like banging his head on the wall.

If you came before July 2012, then minimum income test does not apply. The test is sufficient resource, and based on your husband's earning, your life in the UK test and your English language requirement, you clearly meet that requirement.

Thanks Obie,this is what I mean.We have a straight forward application but they said we have an extremely complex application.Hi bluebird12 my husband said I am not entitled to legal advice as it's only for refugee or asylum seeker.I tried ringing them today but it's just an answering machine.Is there any email address that I contact them?Or is it alright if I photocopy the decision letters they sent and highlight the mistakes they made ie if I can ask more explanation about it?Thank you.

First thing please forget the £20,000 feed figure which I have mentioned , that would only be possible paying fees every time when you need to renew LTR every time if you are pitted on 10 years route but in your case you would not be ....


2: Are you trying to pay IHS Surcharge on time to get your next LTR , if you miss the dates you would be over stayer?

3: it is very wiseable in this situation to get advice from paid immigration professional to save you from more mistakes , otherwise send them covering letter explaining error if UKVI has made any and if they have provided you any address to send .

3 If possible, could you pls scan and upload your refusal letter so someone competent can give u better advice ?

Thanks bluebird12.Yes I will pay the IHS on Wednesday.This is actually torturing you know.If you do things right you get screwed.I could try that return address on the envelope they sent me.I will post later the details why they said it's invalid.It's like Ax+ By = C and multiply by 52'weeks and such.I thought once the sponsor earned over £18,600 is alright(husband claim child benefit under his name only).For now I'll try not to think too much about it but I can't help it.In fact I will contact this lady that offered me counseling months ago after the 2 diagnosed of our child(2 health issues)as they noticed it always upsets me everytime we talk or mention my child's health but I said no because my husband is very supportive and always been.We just get on with it and makes our family close together because we have a child with needs to be look after 24/7.They said they worried in case it will cause me depression but maybe this time will after reading the decision letter :cry:

If the reasons they gave you is wrong, then you ought to challenge it. You cant start a whole circle again if you are in the right.

You must challenge it and ask for a decision, as you made a lawful decision.

Admin review is not available in these cases.
You really should take Obi's advice above and challenge HO on their wrongful decision.

Before tax unless your spouse is self-employed.

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.

Thank you Casa.This is the HO letter:
" This has been calculated by us to show your exact and average weekly earnings and this is as follows:

INCOME SOURCE INTERVAL RECEIVED
Spouses wage Monthly
Child Benefit Weekly
Total Weekly

EQUIVALENT WEEKLY AMOUNT
£344.16
£34.40
£378.56

Your mortgage costs £627.24 every month.This is multiplied by 12 and divided by 52 to equal a weekly rent of £144.74
You also pay £0.00 annually on council tax.This is divided by 52 to give a weekly expense of £0.00
Therefore,your total expense are £144.74
The sum of the formula A-B above is therefore
£378.56- £144.74=£233.82

My husband is not self employed and still have £1,486 in the bank after tax.We paid £565.24 for the rent and £62.00 council tax.I will try to add more of what it says in the letter but want to know first if their calculation is supposed to be like that.Thank you.

Hi guys,can you please advise me if it's ok to send a photocopy copy letter back to HO and just highlights the error they made and ask a bit more of explanation?Do you think they will check all the documents carefully this time or they will just ignore it?Thank you in advance.

A covering letter and a photo copy refusal letter might be helpful , worth trying it .,,, if you are unsuccessful getting ILR this time again than you must challenge the original decision without any delay .....
