She says he went down and asked about help for his housing benefit and explained about his and his boys situation to the best of his ability...The people he spoke with advised him that if he applies again in those circumstances he and his son could be "deported"..
Its bizarre I know but perhaps those interviewing him were not aware of his Northern accent or could tell that he was of indigenous decent!!
He is ,as I said ,very frail and obviously a little nervous of authority,rules,regs ect and told his wife what I just told you..
Thanks terpe..Terpe.
The issue becomes one of being able to clearly demonstrate that any sponsor who is dependent on the state will be able to to support another consumer for any length of time.
As I say..They have a potential sum of nearly 30 grand GBP..
Is it better to deposit this cash (as it comes in) too Eric`s account in the UK or declare this in the application as her own funds from the R.P?
This woman is very much on her own at present and I promised her I would help her look for the best strategy before applying for a new spouse visa which will cost her around 58.000 PHP..
Me? I have no clue,but Im a quick learner..
regards and thanks all..so far.
Hopefully Joe will be along sometime soon...
