Hello Shalona , my husband is the one claiming the child benefit for our daughter,...we were eligible and get paid for child tax credit only on the first year that i am here but when i started earning our joint income gone high and we lost the child tax credit benefit for this year.
I recently got my ILR approved and we had no problems submitting the joint claim letter(HMRC) for child tax credit.
