im back now...want to bring wife and child to uk

[ron]

thanks for your reply again . i apreciate your help.

yes have evidence with supporting letter from ministry of defence that they will pay the grant payment on june 2010. i will be able to send copies of this by photocopy.

at present i landed a good job as night manager in a big hotel . the accomodation is free with free food. No outlays whats so ever. so in the last 5 -6 weeks ive been able to save just over 1500 pounds .

Im advised to move into a private accomodation 2 bedroom flat unfurnished in decemeber . The reason is to show the 6 months rent and council tax as required. not sure if this is required as same as bank account,payslips

if not then i could stay in hotel accomodation and save quite a lump sum and then move into a flat or house 2-3 before i send the application.

Hope i havent confused anyone on this but useful if i could stay on in free accomodation for a short while longer to accumalate some extra funds.

look forward to your replys

Accommodation (renters) If the sponsor rents a flat or house, the tenancy agreement should be provided. If the applicant is not a signatory to the tenancy agreement, then an additional statement from the landlord (or estate agent) should be provided that attests to his agreement that the premises will be occupied by an additional person. If an existing tenancy agreement is to be used, it should have at least six months before expiry. If the tenancy agreement does not have at least six months before expiry, then an additional statement from the landlord showing intent to renew at the same terms should be provided.

Rented accommodation If the accommodation is privately rented, the sponsor should submit a letter from the landlord that confirms both the size of the property and his agreement that an additional occupant may take up residence there. The sponsor should also include a copy of the tenancy agreement, and the tenancy agreement should have at least six months remaining until its expiry.

If the accommodation is owned by a local authority or council estate, a landlord's confirmation should also be obtained, but if this cannot be obtained a report from an independent surveyor which confirms the size and suitability of the premises can be submitted instead.

if i was you, i would stay in your rent free place as long as possible, and a month or so b4 your going to apply for the visa, find a rented place, and get a letter from the landlord as mentioned above,
and get the hotel you work for to put in writing that you've lived rent free and free food for the last x months, that's why you have not rented until now, as your applying for a spouse visa, you've now rented. seems good to me
