Very colourful

OK my status was a little more advanced than yours in that I'd married my fiancée a week before I applied for her visa. I don't think there's a huge amount of difference, however:

My wife is Chinese, so obviously less trusted than US residents. I currently live in a shared property - 3 colleagues sharing a 4 bedroom house. Even though I applied stating that I was buying a house, I could provide no documents to support the claim. They have nonetheless granted the visa.

They contacted neither me, nor my housemates during their decision.

Basically, so long as you will actually have a room in the house to yourselves, plus reasonable amenities and personal space, they'll let him stay.

 

Adequate’ accommodation mainly means accommodation that is not overcrowded, although if the accommodation is seriously flawed in some other way that may also mean it is inadequate. Overcrowding is judged according to the table below, where rooms are proper rooms - not, for example, a kitchen or bathroom. A child under the age of one does not count as a person and a child between one and ten counts as half a person:

Rooms 1-persons 2, rooms 2 - persons 3 , rooms 3 persons 5 ,,,etc

In addition, the spouses must show that they own the accommodation or will occupy it exclusively, meaning that they have a private space that is theirs alone. This can include a room or rooms in a shared house or in a parent’s house.

 

Well done Kaitan.
