FLR(M) and Bankruptcy

Post by akshata123 » Mon Sep 21, 2015 7:02 pm

Hi friends

My situation is very strange.

I'm going to apply with my daughter who is 6 yrs for flr m as the partner (wife) of a person who has ILR (long residence).
I'm on Tier1G main applicant and my husband was my dependant.
However I will be made Bankrupt next month because of £20,000 tax debts by HMRC for which I showed earnings for Tier1G and extension of the same.

My question is
As I'm going to switch from main applicant to partner of a settled person will my application be successful despite of being Bankrupt?

Is Bankruptcy a general ground for refusal though I have a dependant child?

Appreciate your replies.

The link I've posted here refers to ILR applications rather than FLR(M). See 6.1.3 which shows that the decision for approval (or refusal) depends on the circumstances of the bankruptcy. FLR(M) may be more flexible, but the rules could be more stringent when applying for ILR in 5 years time. and even more so for British citizenship.
