Changes In Progress

So I'm still getting fuck all from the banks, tried again today with Lloyds using a Specsavers bill. Still a no-go. For the time being, I'm just getting my income put into my husband's bank. That's not recommended by our managers, but it will have to suffice for the time being. So before I can open my own bank account, we will have to get out and find our own place to rent. So far, we have inquired about a nearby home for us. That basically means that within the next month or so, we might be living together without anybody else. We can then get bills in both of our names, where that will help us not only bank-wise, but visa-wise as well. Right now, we do not have much of anything that proves we live together. And that's essential for the next visa. But UNLIKE with opening a bank account, we can use mobile phone bills to prove we live together.

It's incredibly annoying how:

• Banks do not accept official government letters or letters from a GP/dentist/optometrist as proof of address.
• UKVI, however, does accept these things as proof of address and more. 

It's also annoying how banks will accept other bank statements as proof of address. I'm opening my FIRST bank account, how in the hell will I have other banks statements? Ugh. I've already griped about this in the last blog entry, so I won't say anything else about it. But it still irritates me greatly. Oh well. At least we will hopefully get our own place with our own bills. We will be able to stop this Catch 22 AND also get more support for the next visa. 

At least I can be glad that I've got a job now, as well as a potential house to move into. I am just so glad the managers are okay with compromising for this moment. Because otherwise I won't receive my income at all, and otherwise we'd be stuck in the goddamn Catch 22. We are still sort of in it, but we've found a narrow and rocky path around it.

There's the stress of a new job, moving to a new place, and bank shit all in one. I am SO glad I do not have children, because that would just add to the stress. Hooray for being an adult!
