Lodgers, settlement visa and house

[IainBusby]

you need not state that persons living in your house. you would be fine

Are you saying hs should lie on his application form?

Section 5.11 Do you receive income from other sources?

Section 8.6.6 Does anyone, other than your sponsor, live in the property?

If they find out, your application will be refused and you will be banned from going to the UK for 10 years.

Very true, I'd say it's not worth the risk.
