Here's one guys which I dont know if its been covered before.

Lets just say that when your spouse applies for FLR or ILR under the new rules and unfortunately one of you have lost your job before the application goes in and for reasons you cannot meet the financial requirements then what would happen?

1.) Would you be able to to apply for DLR under article 8 on grounds of a private life.

2.) Whats the likelihood of it being granted.

3.) Does a child you have together who is a british citizen play a major factor to the above.

Just a question which I am sure many have thought about under these draconion new rules but I think important to everyone who could find themselves in this situation.

Would love to hear your views and more importantly anyone with the legal side to how this would work...
