shared accomodation acceptable ?

[krssubbu]

Hi,

I am on ILR. inorder for me to process my wife's and new born baby settlement spouse visa (ilr dependant), i need to show accomodation proof. I live in a shared accomodation and i pay rent to my friends (whose name is on contract). I dont pay anything else such as council tax or bills. My friends name are in the tenancy agreement and i can get no objection letter from them and from landlord, overcrowding is not an issue as its 5 bedroom house and only 4 people including me.

my question has anyone obtained spouse visa (ilr dependant ) with shared accmodation ? if what proof do i need to show?

please help me as i am very very confused

Thanks

is your name on the tenancy agreement?

[krssubbu]

as of now NO (is it a must to get it added?)

[Greenie]

it is not a must but personally I would suggest that it would be better for your application if you were actually on the tenancy agreement.

i will speak to landlord and see but if i were to show without my name (considering all bills are paid by my friends) what documents do i need to show? i have my driving licesne, bank statemetns on the address

do you have a joint bank statement; with statements sent to your address?

[krssubbu]

no not really, we have seperate accounts and we both lived together for 1.5 years (we are married - she was on my dependant visa for 1.5 years and then left to india for maternity). i have proof for we were living together in my previous address - such as council tax bills, electricity bills
