Maintenance requirement in Set (O) form Tier 1 (G)
Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2014 10:23 am
Dear members
So far I had the impression that there is no maintenance requirement for the ILR application. While filling the form, I came across the following requirements and wondering if a learned guru can clarify.
Pg. 18 of Set (O) form:
Complete the following table indicating the sources and levels of income as indicated in 5.1 - 5.5 that you and your partner are relying on to adequately maintain you and any dependants.
Income source
Interval received (weekly/monthly amount)
Amount
Pg. 61 of Set (O) form:"
Evidence of your finances. If you have to complete section 5, bank statements, building society savings book(s), pay slips or other formal documents as evidence of your ability to maintain and accommodate yourself and any dependants without recourse to public funds. (See Note 5)."
Question:
I understand they do not require a minimum bank balance, but want to see payslips / bank statements to see income coming in.
But if your source of income has paused recently (redundancy etc., however still meeting the earnings points), would this affect the ILR application if I was looking to rely on credit cards / Overdrafts (or spouse income) for the time being and have no savings as such.
Many thanks
