Todays question was about domestic violence to partners of skilled workers. Sorry to say the Domestic Violence rule does not cover skilled workers. The rational probably is that the skilled work visa is a temporary visa allowing residence in exchange for work. The partner of permanent residents route is much different there is permanence in the equations and this allows for relief in situations where there is domestic abuse. My answer is regrettably, if you leave your marriage as a skilled worker for a domestic abuse reason, then unless you have an alternative reason to apply to remain in the UK - you should consider leaving to resume your life in the last country you lived in or otherwise your country of origin.
This is not as tricky as it sounds, what you need know first of all is whether you meet the financial requirement with demonstrable earning of £29.000 in the year of the application. Therefore if you have had more than one job, it can be the cumulative amount that count towards the relevant figure. The UKVI require evidence of the work you are undertaking such as contracts, pay remits, bank statements and other documents that show you are in genuine employment. It is open to them to make checks to verify information you choose to submit.

The question is when is accommodation overcrowded. This is an important question when it comes to immigration and depends on a persons per room allowance given in the 1988 Housing Act. Examples of adequate accommodation could be for instance, in a 3 rooms could accommodate 5 persons; 4 rooms 7.5 persons ( I am not sure what the half a person represents) but hey! 5 rooms 10 people etc. For the purposes of the UKV decision maker - there are responsible for ensuring there is adequate accommodation to house the incoming migrant, alongside the Sponsor (if there is one) and their family. For these purposes a living room can be counted as a sleeping room. An example being a couple with one child over the age of one in a one bedroomed flat. An argument that the accommodation is adequate is possible. It is always wise to have accommodation inspected for the purposes of immigration to alleviate or lessen the risk of a refusal on the basis of insufficient evidence of adequate accommodation or inadequate accommodation. Also remember that age and gender are also considerations.
