sad i know posting this info. at home of an evening but i really want to get to the bottom of this, and it's eating away at me so ...
... cl. daughter married a british citizen in cyprus in 1996 and they moved to uk in the same year. cl. daughter came to uk on a 6 month visitors visa, but after the 6 months remained in the uk and applied for indefinite leave to remain. this was granted a year later and between 1997 - 1999 cl. daughter worked at burger king. daughter had to give this work up in 1999 when she had a baby, and she / husband separated in 2000. as far as i am aware husband always worked whilst they were together.
since 1999 daughter has worked very occasionally as an interpreter for medway council, but has never earnt enough to come off benefits, or pay a stamp. her daughter is now aged 8, and i don't know if she/ husband have divorced.
i hope this info. is of help to you martin, and again, top of the morning to thee and thanx for your thoughts and time on this
