hi

my friend's wife is on FLRM and has completed her two year qualifying period, now she wants to apply for ILR , husband has got British citizenship through HSMP/Tier1 General rote but now unemployed, my question is what is the requirement of in terms of maintenance funds and does husband needs to be employed and earning a certain salary?

many thanks for your prompt response.

Is the wife employed, do they have children and do they have savings? Are they paying rent?

Amber, thanks for your reply, wife is house wife, they dont have any children, they have their own house and they pay mortgage, they can show good savings.

How good are the savings? Is the husband claiming JSA?

JSA..is it job seeker allowance,if yes they r not claiming it, how do u define good savings in this case.

If the husband has been working and paying NI he should apply for contribution based JSA. There is nothing specific regarding savings but I would think several thousand should suffice.

Thanks, do u think 5+ is Ok or 10+ , also do u mind posting a link from ukba site on this particular issue. Thanks

It's a simple questions, how much savings do they have?

its kind of private question and i dont wanna ask to be honest
