Seeking Definition "Propsective Accommodation"

Post by b0d » Thu Sep 08, 2016 8:39 am

Hi

I'm looking for an official definition of "propsective accommodation."

Can anyone point me to a document or have direct experience of what will fulfill this requirement.

Fiance visa.

IDI_Adequate_Maintenance_and_Accommodation_Part_8_Annex_F

"Evidence relating to the temporary address and the proposed long term address after marriage or civil partnership should be provided with the entry clearance application as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner. An entry clearance application may be refused if the temporary or proposed long term address is not considered to be adequate accommodation."

I cant find anywhere what this means in reality... anyone..?

Cheers!

It means that you must show that the accommodation where you intend to live together won't be overcrowded (adequate for two people).

Hi Casa and thanks.

Yes but what does "intend to live together" actually mean in real terms. Yes of course we intend to live together, is that not what marriage is all about...

Obviously they cannot substantiate a statement from myself saying "I want to live in Bognor Regis."

What about if I said I would like to find a new job in a new area where I can actually afford to buy something suitable?

Do I have to provide details of the area, my earning potential, property prices blah blah blah.

I could "intend" to live on the moon, it is possible, but where are the guidelines to say "this is how you demonstrate it"?

I did email an old .gov address which has not bounced but not yet receieved a reply and I guess now that address is just a blackhole.

Lets say if I said "when we are married I will look for property to rent that meets your requirements".

I am basically argueing in terms of policy is that acceptable or give them ground for refusal?

You're missing a vital requirement!

In order for a fiance visa application to succeed, you will have to submit evidence on permanent (and continuing) employment. This includes:
The most recent 6 months pay slips + the corresponding 6 months bank statements
AND
A letter or contract from your employer on company headed paper confirming your terms of employment.
AND
Suitable accommodation available on your fiance's arrival in the UK. Including a letter from the landlord agreeing to you both living in the property.

Hi Casa
Sorry if I have not made myself clear.
That is not the issue, I have those in place with the following point to be considered.

What I will do is have my mother provide accommodation which meets the requirement. I will not and do not live at that address.

It is accepted that unmarried partners stay at seperate addresses (unless you have heard otherwise).

After we are married we will find suitable accommodation which is where the proposed accomodation comes in to play. Hence why i am asking for a more structured definition of proposed accomodation.

How can I demonstrate proposed accomodation if it is to be rental property sourced after we are married or a house I have not brought yet?

Does that make sense?
