i don't have any significant savings

would i be exempt from the financial requirement ?

i have my own one bedroom flat which i rent from the council with housing benefit fully paid

also how long does is take now to get ILR ?

[Amber]

Yes you will be exempt. You'll lose the SDP on your ESA-IR when your spouse moves in. It takes 5 years to get ILR. A1 English also required. As (s)he's from Algeria, (s)he can claim Carer's Allowance, when in the UK and when (s)he meets the presence and residence requirements amongst the other criteria.

Isn't she from Lebanon?

[Amber]

Oh yes, where did I get Algeria from? Then ignore the part regarding Carer's Allowance.

However, according to - http://www.immigrationboards.com/claimi ... ml#p941521 - s(he) is neither Lebanese nor Algerian but Bulgarian and thus doesn't need leave to enter
