Advice needed on Accommodation and amount of savings

[joebloggs]

the type of visa needed will be a fiance visa- very similar to the spouse visa apart from the fact that you need to marry her within 6 months of her getting the visa an coming to the UK, then apply for the 2yr ILR

once married in the UK you need to apply for FLR(lasts 2 yrs) then you can apply for ILR but you must have passed the 'life in uk' test first and once your wife has been in the uk 3yrs she can apply for citizenship, (thou there could be some changes regarding this soon)

£2k+ would help your visa app, i wouldn't start spending it until your g/f has her visa. then you can


there is no minimum figure you and your g/f need to have each month, but a figure of £101 wk has been used in appeal cases as a minimum, thats your monthly income - (rent and community charge) hopefully will leave you at least £101 a week ?

your right about the 7.5 people also
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.

Thank you so much for your informative response. I will have left over £635 per month after rent (my rent includes all bills). Will this be deemed enough for the both of us to live on to cover food, travel, clothing etc?

Would you reccomend that we mention that the house is shared with other tenants?

i wouldn't lie about anything, because it only takes one phone call to your landlord or simple checks to see who lives at the same address as you, but i very much doubt they would check anything anyway mention you have sole use of a bedroom, you should be ok..

you should also be ok on the money side...

is living with your parents on an option ?

Unfortuantely living with parents is not an option. Could you please tell me what form is it that my gf will need to complete? I am still somewhat confused as to which form is the one for a 'Fiance' visa.
