Hi, would somebody be able to advise on my situation please?
My husband is EEA national, has been in UK for 7 years, worked on and off. He had gaps in work but for 5 years did not apply for benefits as he had some savings. He did not have comprehensive insurance though.
I am not EEA national, lived with my husband for 6 years in UK. I was due to apply for my ILR last year but my husband worked part time. I thought it might not look good on application and was waiting for him to get a better job. He got a full time job as self employed 8 month ago, but never reported it to the HMRC. He's been getting full time payment along with Working tax credits, child tax credit, housing benefits for last 8 month. At the same time as he started his new job I started a private college. We had saving for it but my husband landed it to one manwho disappeared with £5000.
My husband thought he had to report his new income only in April 2012, not before that. With extra money he was getting he thought he could pay for my course, and in April 2012 report his new income and pay off all extra he's been getting.
Now he got an accountant and found out it was wrong and he had to report it before. I do not know if I can apply for my ILR with this situation?
Home office will see it as a money fraud probably and might refuse my application.

Any advise?

thanks
