Financial requirement is on the way to being met, I'm currently 3 months into the 6 months required work, and have sufficient cash savings to meet the salary shortfall..no worries there. No real 'complications' or 'out-of-the-ordinary circumstance'..but a couple of things worrying me..

I don't own my own house. My parents have a sufficient sized house and are willing to help me, by allowing us to stay with them, to state that we can stay there, rent free. Are there any foreseeable problems we could encounter with this..what sort of evidence should we submit to aid us.

And the one worrying me most, is my stepson. He's 8 years old, his mother and father were never married, but he has his dad's surname, and the father is on the birth certificate. He has no real interest in his son, and doesn't support, but he is around, and I'm worried what problems he could cause us. Whats the best way to go about this? What documents will aid best my stepson's dependent visa application.

Sorry, that's probably another post completely, but they really are the things I can see as causing us the most problems.
