Happy 2018, everyone! The new year is looking good so far. I've finally landed a job, and I'll be working alongside my husband to boot. Since I've got a job now, I can start saving up and we can FINALLY find a place to rent. It'll be just the two of us, finally. It's nice to be able to work, because I'm finally able to contribute now. Having a job isn't required for the next visa, but it will most certainly look better. And it'll increase our chances of finding a decent place. And having a place of our own is crucial, because the next visa requires a multitude of cohabitation proof. As of right now, there is little proof saying that we live together - as we are receiving little to no mail. I don't have a bank account, we're not paying any bills, and we haven't been to the doctor or dentist. So once we get our own place, we will be able to start receiving bills to prove our cohabitation. That's the biggest concern regarding the FLR right now, since finances can be added up from the both of us this time.
So even though 2018 is showing signs of us starting our own lives, it is all signifying that the next visa is coming up fast. In fact, it'll be almost a year from now when we will have to consider beginning the application process. I'm not as worried this time, since entry clearance is the hardest step. Again, right now, my only concern is getting enough mail gathered up to prove that we live together. But that should be resolved once we get our own place. I'll post updates regarding our housing situation.
It'll be the first time we'll be away from parents' influence. It'll be so refreshing to make our own rules. At this point, I'll pay a monthly CARPET BILL if it means we can finally live on our own.
