Dear Sir/Madam,
I read your post regarding your wife's application. I would be very thankful if you could give your suggestion on the following.
My wife has been on work permit for 5 years and we want to apply for ILR. Three years ago when our first son was born, we received some application forms for Child Benefit. We were not sure whether were eligible so we called the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). They advised us to apply for Child Benefit and they would consider our application. We applied and they started paying us child beneift in 2004. We were very naive about "recourse to public fund" and we thought HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) knew better. Anyway, now that we want to apply for ILR,according to the application form, we have realised that may be we were not eligible. Please advise what do you think? How should we proceed? We are willing to return all the money plus interest plus any penalty. Any comment will be highly appreciated!
