Ah, there is no way around the financial requirement then for his 5 years? Even due to circumstances that we should have made it but haven’t?

The 10 year partner route, can the 5 years not be added into that? 10 years is a long time to be finding a lot of money to re-apply each time.

Thank you

Hi, My husband has his spousal visa granted in 2013, when I solely made the £18,600 criteria. We need to re-apply for his 2nd 2.5year visa.. and I've had a baby since then so work Part time.

Thank you so much for your help Amber,

Will read that housing act in full for relevant legislation, although have seen one part that may be relevant so far

If you come across anything else please let me know
In the meantime, thanks again for this info!

Thanks for the reference to that act,

I do think it's not clear enough of my entitlement and more hints discretionary private accommodation? Where it is an entitlement of mine to gain state housing if I require it?

Ok thanks, I know for CTC or WTC I can claim, I'm more looking for my right to a house as a british citizen, need references to guidelines and laws.

You did your spouse application on both incomes to meet 18,600? I was told It had to be me as the sponsor to meet the full 18,600? Also, when my husband's visa is due in 2016, when we haave to apply again, we have to meet the same requirements, again, it will be my income solely, that has to meet ...
