Hello!
My fiance is a UK citizen and I'm a US citizen looking to join him. We've been putting the application together, and the only thing that's causing us a bit of worry is the accommodation section. He's currently living in London, where he works, with a friend, and their lease expires at the end of October. We're starting to look for a place now, to move into in November, when I will hopefully be there. Since we're trying to sign a lease before I have a visa (or a job in the UK), so that we can include it in the application, we're not sure that someone will agree to let a flat to us.
Our back-up plan is to stay with his parents. They have room for us, but they live in York, which is about 2.5 hours away from my fiance's job. Is this a problem? Do you guys think UKBA will care that it's so far away as long as we have a place to stay?
Thanks so much for any advice!
Sara
