Pre-Assessed..
Thanks for the tips, we already started collecting evidence from the day he arrived, house insurance, sharing joined credit cards, photos, sharing expenses. Some we couldn't like same lease, my place is asking for credit check and since he is on a visitor visa can't be added but I have the emails communication with management to proof that we tried that too :).

In the visitor extension, it says that you should apply before 30 days, is it ok to apply like a week or two before the expiry day?
Wait until the last minute, because he will have `Maintained Status' until a decision has been made on the application. If you can apply online (not sure if you can), do it the day before.

Yes now it is online, and according to the website the processing time is 140 days :)
Because they said at least 30 days I don't wanna break any rule :)

You can apply at last minute, although personally I don't see any advantage of doing so.

The danger of last minute is: if something screws up, there's a problem, a system goes down, or a mistake or something unexpected, or its' returned with errors, it's your problem and could result in him being out of status and more complications.

I will do that a month in advance just in case to be safe
