What are the living arrangments for Spousal Visa in America?

In general, you simply need to show compliance with the Housing Act of 1985 (as amended in 1996):

The accommodation for a couple (or for fiancé(es) after they are married) complies with the following requirements:
  • it is (or will be) owned or legally occupied for the exclusive use of the couple (see definition in section below);
  • and it is capable of accommodating the couple, and any children, without overcrowding as defined in the Housing Act 1985.

  • Depending on the circumstances of the case, there may be other relevant factors; for example you should be satisfied that housing the couple in rented accommodation will not be in breach of any tenancy agreement as regards sub-letting. The onus is on the applicant to provide confirmation that there is no objection to an additional resident moving into the accommodation.

    But these are not generally show-stoppers for a strong application.
