UKVI Adequate accommodation
For immigration purposes we do not look at the floor area for each room as it is complex to
evidence and assess. We focus on the number of permitted occupants based on the number
of rooms.


Also read 7.4.3
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... nnex_F.pdf

There are a few discrepancies in the source you've posted and some of the information is out-of-date. For example the official UKVI guidance says:
Accommodation can be shared with others. ‘Occupy exclusively’ is defined in paragraph 6 of
the Immigration Rules and means that at least part of the accommodation must be for the
exclusive use of the family.

Thank you so much for your reply, you are really helpful.

As I have been working only a few years, my earnings are still Tax free. I pay Tax with my employers however I receive a Tax rebate every year.

Would this conflict with meeting the adequate maintenance threshold?

Should i deduct the tax even though I receive Tax rebates?

Thank you once again :)

Not necessary as I can't see that will be an issue.
Eid Mubarak :)

1. Is 6 printscreens of skype windows per month in A4 paper would be enough evidence as proof of ongoing relationship?
Showing a bit of variety from call to chat logs..

2. what's considered the minimum or maximum?

Its very confusing, please help! :(

Hi Casa, apologies in advance as you seem to be inundated with queries of this nature.. we're so worried about our face to face appointment for my wife's flrm extension.

I'm on carers allowance 62.10, we have no children, we have cash savings of roughly £10,600 which equates to £81.53 over 130 weeks.

A) 62.10 + 81.53 = 143.63 (proof in form of letters & bank statements)

B) 0 housing costs (proof in form of letters etc)

C) 2016 rates for a couple £114.85

As our total of 143.63 is more than the rates for a couple on income support are we fine in regards to adequate maintenance? Are there any other bits that they add on to the 114? We don't have any children


Any help / advice would be totally appreciated
