My DLR application is pending with ukba, i do not have National Insurance no  and my wife is british citizen, and her child tax credits have been stoped..HMRC asks us to claim jointly but i do not have NI NO . i want to ask do i have to apply for NI NO and then followi it from there accordingly .?

I'm not a benefits expert but the UKBA guidance from August 2012 says that Child Tax Credit can still be claimed when one member of the couple is subject to immigration control. I suggest applying for a NINo and then trying with HMRC again
