Yes. When did she stop receiving social assistance and for how long was she on social assistance. One should really be off social assistance for at least a few months before applying versus applying right after you have stopped receiving welfare. If she has been receiving social assistance for a long period of time it is important to show that she is now committed to working and won’t stop once you arrive.

She is working full time now as an industrial security officer since mid of 2018. So now she is not on SA.
