Landlord (actual house owner) doesn’t live with us-his son does who technically is his dad’s tenant as well, so tenancy should be fine

1. You are over thinking this whole process.

2. You are not reading a lot of the advice given. The lodger agreement was fine as is the right document legally for your circumstances of living in a house share.

People will stop responding to queries when a members doesn't read advice given.

[shohjura]

understand and appreciate the advice that is being given by the forum.
But at the end of the day, it is up to the OPs to take the advice and make their own decision from the info available here and other places

[CR001]

What you should be doing is following the ukvi guidance and immigration rules. There is NO rule that you MUST have a tenancy agreement specifically. UKVI is fully aware of the housing laws and different types of agreements. You don't have exclusive use of the property.

You seem to be interpreting what you think is needed, which is the wrong way to go about it as you have already learnt. Unsure why you seem intent on complicating the application.

Given your annual salary, why don't you simply rent a studio or 1 bedroom apartment

hey guys,
we reapplied for my wife's visa on 16 Jan, we got an email from home office last week that soon we will receive another email to offer priority service (15 bus days) with further instructions, question is considering our application was refused previously, could we still use priority service? In one of the immigration advice websites, they state that the out-of-country spouse visa priority service not recommended if 'The applicant has been refused a visa for the UK and there will be no guarantee that the Home Office will be able to process the application within 15 working days', link below

Used to be on TLS and VFS websites that if you have had an application refused before it is not advised to use priority service when applying.
However people with refusals before have succeeded applying priority and getting decision in quick time.

Had an email from ukvi about priority service option, then sent another email that we will get link from worldpay to pay for service, but didn’t get a link, emailed them twice to send it but no link…
Has anyone come across the same situation?
