Newbie
Hello all.How are you? I loved that long hot summer
Typical August Bank holiday weather now, though!
My name is Jonny James but it is ok to just call me JJ if you are in a hurry.
I live in Central London
I joined here before but the email account that I set up would not work very well, in fact it would not work at all.
So I have changed it to outlook, which seems to be much more reliable than mail.com
Hope to catch up with you all soon
JJ
Welcome JJ, is your partner a Filpina, if so where in the Philippines is she from?
Thank you for your welcome
Yes she is from the Philippines Michael
Everybody must be away?
This looks like a very interesting site for information and help
I just want to present the facts here below
We've been married almost 6 years now and my wife has lived here in the UK for just over 5 years
My wife has not had a day's work since she has been here
I would like to know if this would prevent her from obtaining her Indefinite Leave to Remain status which is due for her to apply for it in October of this year 2018?
Looking around this site I've not seen any other post on this subject?
I would be grateful for any help and advice on this matter
Thanking you in advance
JJ
Amazing! It seems that I have asked a really difficult question on my postOriginally Posted by jonnyjames2
57 views and not one bit of advice or help with my enquiries
I'm sure someone will come along to help soon, sorry but I don't know the answer.
One assumes she is not claiming any benefit, and is solely dependent upon your income?
Ah Thank you Simon
Yes I support her
Her lack of work will not be against in gaining a successful ILR. What would matter is you, the sponsor, can show that you are capable of supporting her, i.e. you are able to show your yearly earnings of £18,600 or having the required savings if you don't meet the financial requirements.
Have a read on this.

Hello dear Rayna
thank you
To be frank with you
The time has now come for me to explain with more details about our situation
I am not earning this amount of money anymore , in fact I'm on pension and DLA due to an old accident at work and this is all the income I have
Will I be exempt from paying anything at all?
Regards
JJ
I replied to Raynaputi the other day with another request for help
Why wasn't my post displayed on here?
Also, why wasn't I given an answer?

Beautiful, warm, gentle September's day
It looks like we might get an Indian summer after all
Hi all
I will be grateful for some help and advice on this matter here below
Does anyone on here know what could happen if my wife missed the deadline to complete her application form for ILR?
All replies appreciated
JJ
You mean when her current visa runs out and she hasn't applied for ILR? She won't have the right to stay here in the UK and she would need to go back to the Philippines and start the process all over again.
...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
Dear Rayna,
Thank you. Can they make her go if we don't want to have to start these visa applications all over again?
What do you mean? Would immigration officers or Home Office make her go back to the Philippines if she doesn't have ILR and rather have an expired visa? Yes they can if they catch her. But that would be living a life always worrying whether she would be caught or not. She also won't be entitled to any benefits since her current visa doesn't have recourse to public funds.
Also if she intends to work in the future, she won't be able to since she has an expired visa and doesn't have a right to stay and work here. She might also be reported to Home Office by possible employers if that happens. Hence, they can deport her.
Don't risk anything that would jeopardise both your lives here in the UK. If she gets caught with expired visa, she will be deported and will have a 10 year ban of getting back here.

Dear Rayna,
Thank you. That's what I thought would happen in everything you say is correct. All I need is for my wife to be suitably impressed with your points of views too
If my wife passes the day of her application for her ILR, how long do they generally take before the Home Office will give her notice to quit the UK? If my wife is still here after these notices from the Home Office?
What could happen next?
Regards
JJ
Welcome aboard
Dear Rayna,
Thank you. This may sound a strange question to ask:
Do you think the Home Office might hold me responsible for my wife's failure to complete her ILR form?
I'm getting a little anxious here
Thank you
JJ
Errr...I don't think they will be too concerned about your responsibility for your wife's failure to apply or refusing to apply for ILR. Unless you can't show you can support her as a sponsor, then that'll be your only problem. All the Home Office needs from you are the documents you can support her financially and you have proper accommodations for the both of you. Although the financial requirement is really the toughest and yet the most important requirement.
You better get some help with an immigration solicitor with regards to all your legal questions. We can only supply you information based on experiences of the members here and our own understanding of the rules. To be honest, no members here in the forum, as far as I know, have refused to get their wives (or their own) ILR. I don't understand why your wife wouldn't want to get an ILR???
...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
Thank you dear Rayna
I want to thank you for you kindness in helping us
I know it might sound a bit messy with all these questions
We are hoping her new passport comes back soon before we can make any progress towards her ILR application
Regards
JJ
Perhaps she (or he) has run off with somebody else, and this questioning is all a smokescreen ?

Smoke screens??
I wish you could talk in proper English
Perhaps your wife has run off with your tongue?
JJ,
Why not cut all the drip feeding of information, and just tell us the whole story?
It could save a whole lot of time and get you the correct advice or answer.
Agree !
I have my reasons
I can assure you will get the same questions that I get then as they come in and I will post my request on here
Hello all
My wife's new passport hasn't arrived from the Philippines yet
We hope it will be here soon.
She must apply for her ILE status very soon
Otherwise we could be in trouble
This week is 10 weeks ago we sent it off
Regards
JJ
I don't know why you left your wife's passport renewal so close to the required time to apply for ILR. It would have been better to apply earlier. Did you at least take a copy?
In the case of our recent FLR-M application there was a question about whether or not you can supply the passport and if not state reasons why. You might be better off stating that it hasn't arrived if it doesn't come in time. Did you get a receipt for the passport application from the Philippine Embassy? Maybe submit that as evidence with a note you will supply the passport as soon as it arrives.
I would get specialist advice if I was you. You can't in any circumstance let your wife's visa expire.
