Joint bank account affect ILR

Nad33m · Post by **Nad33m** » Mon Aug 06, 2012 4:39 am

Hi I was wondering if someone could provide me with some information, on my
Misses passport it states that she has "no resource to public funds"

We have applied for working tax credit as a joint account, with a joint bank account,

When applying for a ILR, will this affect her because she has a joint bank account

Can you please enlighten me on this, because I am worried it will affect her
Thank you

Don't worry...it won't matter. In fact it's probably better, as it shows joint commitment with finances. You're also correct that Working Tax Credits should be claimed in joint names.

Can you please provide in which category you are in and which category visa she is on ?

You may also want to read: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... blicfunds/

Note: If you are applying for ILR, you should not be benefiting from any 'Public Fund', nor should you have benefited from it during the duration of you eligible leave, if your leave condition states 'No recourse to Public Funds'.

You might want to fix that potential problem first, before worrying about joint bank account.

I have applied for working tax credit because I have a low income, I am also over 25, I contacted HMRC, told them that on my wifes visa it states no resource to public funds, they said its ok that wouldnt make a difference because you applying and she is not working, As I am UK citizen I'm
Not subject to immigration Control[/code]

wpilr_nov12, as a British Citizen (as with someone on ILR) NAD33m is entitled to claim Working Tax Credits. These must be claimed in joint names and he has rightly informed the authorities that his wife is subject to immigration control. Therefore, he doesn't have a problem.
Although the claim is in joint names, his wife isn't the beneficiary, NAD33m is.

Casa,

I agree.

However my earlier reply was based on the OP's information available at that point, without making any assumptions on the circumstances.

Thanks for your help moderator, I rang HMRC they confirmed it will not affect my spouse when applying for a ILR, because as I'm
A UK citizen and I'm not subject to immigration control I am allowed to apply for working tax credit, as it is a joint account,

What's the difference between FLR (o) and FLR (m)

Post by **Casa** » Thu Aug 09, 2012 8:58 am

FLR(M) = Further Leave to Remain - marriage (or unmarried/civil partner)
FLR(0) = Further Leave to Remain - other

Am asking about FLR because I have a question, my spouse has been in the uk for 11 months she is here on a 27 month spouse visa, she got her visa in aug 2011 but stayed abroad for one month and came to th uk in sept 2011 then again in June we went abroad again for one month, so next year when I apply for indifinate leave, I am puzzled on what I need to apply for:
ILR?
FLR (m)?
Or
FLR (o)?

That's what I was meant to ask in the first place I apologise for the previous comment

ILR. The month's delay in her arrival won't make a difference as she had up to 3 months in which to enter without having to apply for FLR later on.
The time she's spent out of the UK since her arrival won't be deducted from her qualifying time.
