If your breach is not recorded, it never happened

What was the nature of your breach? Was it documented, like were you clocked in and out? Was it specifically reflected in your payslip? If it's just you worked, say 4.5h instead of 4h a day for a week, and no one really knows it, then it never happened. They'll not going to investigate, trace cctv of your entries, or computer logs of your log ins, etc. I worked during studies, and i was paid per task, never tracked my time or anything, and there could have been occasions when i went over it, i don't know, nobody knows, i never mentioned it.

What does it ask specifically?

What do they ask exactly? Do you have an example of the question?

It is not a lie if you dont tell what they don't ask

No, they'll never know.

Look, even if you have a visa ( i wonder if americans can get visa at all?) It doesn't guarantee your entry to the country. From your description, it looks like you acted very suspiciously at the border, and therefore, they refused your entry. Even with visas, if you act suspiciously, they still might turn you back.

Don't waste time and money on lawyers, go to the uk, get your marriage certificate with you, some bank statements to prove that you can pay for the trip and you should be fine. Be ready to answer what your husband does and where he lives.

No, I'm just practising british sarcasm.

Did you get rejected before? The tourist visa should be a pretty straightforward application, and no lawyers are required for it. You, however, have a problem with the fact that your husband is there, and if you don't have reasons to come back to your home country, then HO will be very cautious in issuing visa for you, because they will assume that you'll stay with your husband. So, you need to show that you have strong reasons to come back, like good job, family, house to keep up, etc.

The guy for $2k probably doesn't know shit. I wouldn't go for anyone cheaper than $3.5. It is a tourist visa after all, this stuff is no joke.

I think he meant his family will have to pay ihs if they apply for visa extension

Could you please elaborate a bit. Who collects money for up keep? Who organises the service and repairs of the common areas? What to do if someone is refusing to participate, etc?

I doubt it will improve, but it might not get worse at least, like scraping the idea of increasing in financial requirements further.

Would you pay more to live in the house without mould, not a single spot guaranteed? Say 5% more? I personally would.

Just personal opinion/observation. Foreigners prefer newer properties because they prefer comfort over "character". Outside the uk, a new house usually means better quality, and they extrapolate it on the uk as well. The third reason is black mould. In the large chunk of the world, people don't know about it, and mould in the house means it 's not kept well. In the uk, a couple of black spots here and there is a normal thing in old houses, so foreigners prefer to pay premium to live in a new, mould free house.

I suppose it's what you are used to. I agree that having 3,5-4 m tall ceilings is too much, but in my experience, 2.35m is the lowest in europe and strikes as rather unusual and makes rooms to look less spacious. My friend lives in a house built in 1920s with ceilings being around 2.70-75 and it feels so much nicer. It's just sad that you can't find more modern houses with such ceilings anymore.

It's funny how the majority of commenters say you don't need them higher, and it is more paractical and then downvote when I pointed out that British ceilings are the lowest in europe. I don't get it, is it an advantage or not? 😀

Just feels more spacious. 2.35m feels like you can only have spotlights. Otherwise, you'll hit chandelier with your head if you just a bit above average height

True, but i am talking about modern standards. It seems every house built after the war is 2.35m, regardless of whether it's affordable housing or luxurious estate.

Victorian 2.75 feels so much more spacious. I didn't check in every single country ofc, but in my experience, british ceilings are the lowest in europe.

His ilr. I don't think Canadian citizenship card is required, passport is more than enough

Is it barnacles on the second photo?

I got a phone call from them during my naturalisation. It indeed came from hidden caller id. They wanted to notify me that i had one document missing, and that i put the wrong date of my first entry to the uk. They told me that I'll receive the email with instructions on where to send the missing document.

So, next time you get a phone call, i would pick up if i were you.

Are you aware that your ILR clock is going to reset to 0 after you switch?

Estate agent letters don't look like good evidence, but solicitor letters should work, i believe.

Overall, your case seems to be quite strong. You own a property together, you have joint financial obligations (mortgage), you live together at least 1.5 years fully documented, and can provide some evidence that you lived together before. I think you already have strong proof that your relationship is akin marriage. If you have bank statements with your name only and he can provide his statements with the same address for the period before you bought your flat, then it would be enough to prove that you lived together before as well. Your case seems to be far stronger than a few successful applications posted in this subreddit earlier this year.
