Confused

[bhem_bhem]

did you tell them your married to a British citizen?, thou he cant be classed as a 'parent' - not using UKBA definition of the word.

yeah,, told them i'm on a spousal visa.. they sent me the appendix 1 form but didn't tell me why.. i just assume that they want me to fill them in rather than the appendix 2.

Must admit I thought we covered all this before.

It needs a couple of readings but OK this is what I found so far:-

Here are the Immigration Directorate Instructions

And here's a link to the Immigration Rules (paragraphs 297-300)

They do actually say the same.

To me, on a simple basis, it's a decision between Part 1 and Part 2 (don't want to get into the 'Compelling case' just yet)

The circumstances described (one parent settled and one parent limited leave) appear to more closely match Part 2 means Financial Requirement.

...........I still believe FM applies and still suggest you discuss further with that case worker.

As only one of you is settled, you need to cover the application with the FM requirement of £18,600 + additional for 1 child.
