Accomodation Requirement for Tier 2 Dependant Visa

[Ashieduplus]

Hi

Please do I need a proof of accommodation for a Tier 2 Dependant application?

My wife will be applying for a Tier 2 Dependant Visa to join me in a less than 2 months and I am a bit confused. I have seen some posts on this forum that dependant visa's for Tier 2 category were refused for not providing this.

When I applied for my wife's dependent visa early last year, I was living in a shared accommodation and was searching for a flat of my own so someone suggested me to write a letter saying that I am attaching my payslips and I am currently searching for a flat of my own which I can afford in my salary. My wife's dependent visa application was sucessful and I am not sure that letter made any difference. My friend applied for his wife's dependent visa after us and he wrote the same letter and his wife's visa was granted as well.

Then there is another fellow in our office who first got a separate flat, got the property inspection report done and made sure his wife's name was on the tenancy agreement and then applied for the visa and their visa application was sucessful as well. In my personal opinion, HO doesn't really care about the accommodation requirement otherwise they would mention that in guidelines as well. The most important thing in a spouse visa application is proving that the relationship is genuine so pictures of you together, regular contact and other proofs like you sending your spouse money and other stuff is most important. Good luck

Thanks a lot.

Thankfully my salary shows in my account so I'll reference that.

Do attach three latest payslips from your employer as well. That should show the before and after tax and NI income.

I thought this was only necessary for Spouse Visa.

This would mean a support letter from my company too regarding the payslips.

Payslips are NOT required for a PBS dependent visa.

My thoughts exactly. I only needed to explain to the ECO why I was staying in a flatshare to meet the accomodation requirements.

There appears to be a lack of accommodation requirements in the Family members of Relevant Points Based System Migrants and Appendix W Workers rules, apart from those relating to children, 319H(l) and 319J(h):

All arrangements for the child’s care and accommodation in the UK must comply with relevant UK legislation and regulations.

Thanks for the info. I will omit this information then. I will stick to proof of relationship and financial evidence.
