I'll say it again... she will be able to claim benefits because she has a baby under 1 year old. For that reason she'll be in the no work related requirements group so she won't get sanctioned for leaving her job.
She won't get support for mortgage interest if either she or her partner have earned income.

She won't be able to claim benefits because her DH undoubtedly earns above the threshold - if he didn't, he wouldn't be allowed in. That's a major plot hole in OP's story. He can't have citizenship on the timeline given, he can't be working cash in hand on the information given, they can't have got a mortgage on the info given. OP's story is either entirely made up or she's completely misunderstood almost every single aspect of it.

I've been through the visa process with a spouse and your story has more holes in it than a cheese grater.

Just tell her to go to her nearest CAB and let it go!

If you don't agree with her plan then say so and decline to help her

moynomore · 11/06/2021 11:25

she has openly said she is going to be a lady of leisure and she has told her husband to pick up even more hours.

Laughing at someone collecting benefits being a "lady of leisure". And why shouldn't her husband pick up more hours if she is looking after their children? As you say, she worked very hard to get him over here.

I don't agree with anyone quitting work with the view to collecting UC for no other reason then that they don't want to work, but this isn't really adding up.

He doesn't actually work above the threshold you mention, he is employed at a company run by a close family member. My friend told me that he had paid to have his payslips amended to show that he was earning more, she also told me that her husband paid them to make fake payslips for her. I remember seeing them when she asked me to take her to the solicitors office.

He is 100% working cash in hand, and they have managed to get a mortgage. Like I have said previously some details I may have missed out on.

But mortgage lenders don’t just look at payslips. They look at bank statements and p60s etc too. Why is she having fake payslips when she has a job?

None of what you are saying makes sense…

Fake payslips wouldn’t work to get a mortgage, lenders look at your bank statements too so it wouldn’t match up and would be spotted immediately.

MintyMabel · 12/06/2021 13:54

My gripe is the fact she was ok to work her ass off to bring her husband here, working day and night. Now that her husband is here she has openly said she is going to be a lady of leisure and she has told her husband to pick up even more hours.

Why would that be your gripe? Are you her husband?

This is a load of tosh. There's absolutely no way they could get a mortgage working cash in hand with fake pay slips.

A friend of mine married her partner 3 year ago, at the time he was staying in England on a work Visa. They married and applied for permanent stay for him but it was refused as he had overstayed his visa. He was deported back and she worked night and day to reapply for him to show that she was financially secure to support him. They were even told that having a child would help their case, which they tried, unsuccessfully. The paperwork was put through and he was allowed to come back on a permanent basis and now has British citizenship.

No, this cannot be true. Since 2012 it takes a minimum of 5 years on two back to back 30month partner visas before you can apply for ILR, and only after ILR is granted, then can you apply for British citizenship.

There is no possible way that anyone married 3 years ago, overstayed a work visa, was deported and then back in U.K. could be anywhere near British citizenship yet.

PlanDeRaccordement · 12/06/2021 14:16

@ProbablyProbing
he doesn't get British Citizenship based on her income, and he needs to have lived in the UK for three years continuously prior to application (but after marriage) to get citizenship (which takes 6 months to process

That is pre-2012 route for partners. It now takes 5yrs to ILR then citizenship if earn above threshold, or 10yrs to ILR then citizenship if earn below the threshold.

Pay slips and cash in hand?

Cash in hand and a mortgage?

I can't make that add up.

Hah hah hah. Home Office checks income with HMRC...so if he’s got fake inflated payslips....he will be done for tax dodging. Which is one thing that stops an application for British citizenship.

You’d think someone who was a benefits advisor would have even a little basic knowledge of the immigration system, applying for mortgages, and in particular, the benefit system.

You would. You actually would think that.

It’s almost like there is some kind of mystery around OP’s story that we must solve. 🕵️‍♀️ 🔍 🤔
