1) marriage certificate is enough , but to prove cohabitation relationship emails, chats, phone call statements and might need marriage invitation may also help to support the document ( since its only 3 months you have been alone, extra documents not needed, but for your safer side you can encl. the above documents.

2) your husband should show the tenency agreement

3)It should be better if it is in your name or with husband's joint account, but i think joint with father that will do, but not sure about guiding you with 3rd point, moderators please help...

Thx makepop1 for your reply.

When I checked the supporting documents list, the tenancy agreement requirement is not mentioned anywhere, I guess. May I know which section is asking for this document?

For students and their dependents I guess there is no need to show tenancy agreements, but if someone is saying that they are going to host you when you are in UK, then they will ask all those questions about accommodation. and i guess if someone says that they are hosting you then they may ask for Property Inspection Report, to make sure that the house is not over crowded, But as a student you may not be asked those questions.

I may be totally wrong tho, can anyone please conform,

Correct, you merely need to show the required maintenance held for the required period.

Even they have not specified on the guidance that to proof needed to prove the cohabitation relationship such as phone , emails or etc..

but i have seen so many cases like that to prove it, if you look into this forum you will know.

I don't exactly remember where I read about accommodation requirement for sponsors, but one such requirement is at

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... schapter8/

in that Annex F - Family members - Maintenance and accommodation, talks about the requirement.

I will see if I can find more links,

Hope this helps

Yes Greenie I know that, In my first post I have said that accommodation requirement is necessary for other visas and not for student visas, and as makepop1 have asked where I got that information, I have linked a document which states one such requirement in other kind of visa.
