First of all THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for all the previous information I have received from this board. In June I applied and received my FIANCE VISA within 10 days after applying due to all the help I had putting my information together.
I arrived in the U.K. on July 4th (which amused me the whole plane ride over). My fiance and I are *finally* going to be married August 30th!
I have spent the past two weeks getting ready to apply for my 2 year spousal extension, and have run into only one issue.
Our accomodation....we are currently living with my fiance's Mother and her boyfriend. And we are actually PAYING RENT to her each month which is fine. When I spoke to the man who approved my fiance visa, he said this would still be fine for when we extend my visa because we are PAYING RENT each month and the house has MORE THAN ENOUGH room for us all. (4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 Spam, 1 dining room, 1 living room, 1 conservatory, and a garage.) Only two bedrooms are used, theirs and ours. And 1 bathroom is for our use only.)
But from reading things on this board again, most people seem to think that this is not acceptable? So what is anyone's actual experience with renting from relatives and applying for the extension?
Thanks for any and all answers.
