Hurray wife and step-daughter got ILR Today!

[lordna]

Yep, they got their Biometric residence Permits today! A man knocked at the door and I had to provide proof of identity that they lived with me.....good job i had photocopies of their passports as all the documents haven't come back yet.

We applied 14th May i think it was via the settlement checking service.

For those who were worried about claiming child tax credit and child benefit, i was claiming both and it obviously doesnt affect my wife and daughters claim for ILR.

Hip hip hurrah!....next stop citizenship!

Unfortunately, i didn't keep a copy of the form and i remember being unsure myself at the time what to tick. However, the CTC and/or WTC claims have to be in both names, i would say tick the boxes to indicate who was the recipient of the benefit. ie if the CTC/WTC is paid into your husbands account then tick husband. I seem to remember thats what i did and put a question mark against my wifes name and added a comment underneath that it was a joint claim (which it must be). I dont think you will have any problems with that. I was the child benefit claimant.
