Sponsorship - accomadation issue

Post by christine44 » Mon Nov 07, 2011 6:04 pm

I want to sponser my albanian boyfriend to visit me in the UK for approximately 2/3 weeks. I do not have savings but I have a decent level of income and can show payslips and bank statements for the last 6 months. I also plan to start saving some money from this month and he has his own savings.

My problem is that I currently live with 3 friends in a 4 bedroom flat in London. I plan to rent my own flat next year but not sure if I should delay the visa application until then as I might be seen as a better sponsor. My sister has said that me and him can stay with her when he is in the UK as she has a mortgage on a 3 bedroom house which she lives in with her husband and 1 year old son and she is willing to write an invitation letter stating this.

My question is in the sponsership letter should I say that he is going to stay with me or at my sisters house ? Or would it be better to wait until I rent my own flat ? Is it going to be too confusing and maybe look odd to give my pay and bank documents as a sponsor and then my sisters house details ? In reality he will probably stay with me for a couple of nights and we will visit my sister too but also I will book a couple of hotels as I want him to see central London and also have a trip to the countryside while he is here so it is a nice holiday for him. I don't want to lie but I'm just not sure if I put all that on the sponsorship letter it will all look a bit confusing. Plus I am not planning on booking the hotels until he has the visa as I don't want to waste my money if his visa is refused.

Any advice on what is considered "suitable" accomodation for a sponsor to have is much appreciated.
