hello guys,
i need a bit of help and advice from you experienced people if you could.

i called my wife and she had entry clearance on spouse visa for 22 months in 2011. now we have to submit her ILR application in couple of months we both are working full time and we both have secure and permanent jobs but now unfortunately i am nor able to work since last 2 weeks as i had a stroke.
my question is would it affect on our application that I am not working now as a sponsor for my wife but she is working full time and paying taxes since the day she came.we have all records.also we are not claiming any public funds as we are aware that it can affect the outcome of the application and we have no problems showing the savings.
if any of you guys been in the similar situation or have experience in regards to our circumstances any advice would be helpful. i really appreciate and thank you for your time in advance.

You should be fine then. However, If you got any Income Protection Policy that should do more favor. Check with your employer if you got one. Please bear in mind not many employers do reveal about this policy as employees could misuse it.
