hi everyone!!!
I am applying for spouse visa.... just wanna ask the requirements/documents needed? We got married last September 2007 here in Philippines... He is working in a callcenter in London and save £4000 as show money. We are planning to stay in my father-in law's house since my hubby doesn't have a place yet and dad *my father-inlaw* allow us to live there with a private room for the two of us, it was a freehold house three story house with 3 bedrooms and living with he's father's second family.. 5 person all in all including him (i hope overcrowding will never become an issue).
any answers/comments or suggestions will very much appreciated :)

hi mheanRanola!
i think its better if your husband will rent a flat for the two of you... that would be a good idea i guess than staying with your father in law with his family.
lets wait for the other members opinion....

5 person all in all including him (i hope overcrowding will never become an issue).
so with you there , will it be 6 people living there ?
the other 4, are your father in law, his wife and kids ??
could be a problem with over crowding, depends on who the other 4 are, and their ages..

Ooops - I am afraid that your situation might be regarded as "OVERCROWDING" by ECO unfortunately :Erm: :NoNo: :doh
Please see this link, it is guidelines for ECO when assessing visa applications:
UKBA -Maintenance and accommodation - MAA14 (http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/maintenanceaccommodation#18177572)
What worries me in your case most is especially this sentence there: A house is considered to be overcrowded if 2 persons aged 10 years or more of opposite sexes, who are not living together as husband and wife, must sleep in the same room

. . i think that it will be better for you to rent a place of your own; a 16 year old boy and a 12 year old girl should have their own rooms, so the house should have at least 4 rooms to accommodate all 6 of you..
Good luck on the application, i'm also in the process of preparing mine. :)

i don't think there is a law that states a teenage brother and sister can not share the same bedroom in a private house, but i don't think it would be allowed in a council owned house..
but your right, it doesn't look good for a teenage brother and sister sharing the same room.
would be better to rent until you get your visa, then you can do what you want :D

The ECO would not be able to allow i understand from the research i did a few years back. Somewhere on here I think Pete actually posted it. I remeber finding on another site which i think you may know of a PDF something like section f on the UK visas site which states that one person per room if not a couple over a certain age.
Basically it would be unlikely to be oked:NoNo:

yes andy, but this is a private house, and its not a child who is applying for a visa, its an adult, i dont think there is any law that says teenage borthers or sisters or even younger cannot share the same bed room, but if it was a council house they would rehouse the family.
but no its not ideal, and looks risky to me to make a visa app stating that they would be sharing..
