Hi

We're in the process of completing an ILR visa application, believe we've got most things covered.

However, we will be relying on my partners income to meet financial criteria but with only 3 weeks left her employer has asked that she provide proof that she is still eligible to work while waiting for the immigration decision. Will there be any way that we could provide this evidence to the employer? Is it possible to check online or similar? I've looked for online payment / application but this is unavailable.

Also, what are the current waiting times for ILR application from the UK?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
It's been nearly 2 years since my partner arrived in the UK and soon we'll have to apply for the ILR. My main concern is meeting the financial criteria, I'm studying an Msc and only doing temp work, at the moment I'm on a short term contract earning reasonable money at the moment however this is due to end soon and by the time of the application I shall only be working p/time with another employer on a temp basis, my partner is also working p/time but on a permanent contract.

I expect my income to only about £3-400 per month while hers is around £600, rent and council tax is only about £475. It's not an ideal situation but it's only temporary while I'm at uni and I'm due to finish in April 2012, based on the above information would we meet the financial criteria? Can her income be taken into consideration or do I need to quickly get a permanent job at Asda or similar to get through this?? BTW I'm not receiving any government funds re uni.
Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Jay
