Re: Proving right to rent

Not a single Canadian company responded to any of my (highly skilled, in demand) husband's applications for jobs. One of them they contacted one of his references/past colleague who moved to Canada,...

Re: Moving back after 20 years in Japan - Advice Sought

Spouse visa is a pain. I've been gone as long as you and the paperwork to get this together is tedious beyond belief. We have a solicitor as my time is more valuable to me than saving the fee. But...

Re: Proving right to rent

I mean, that doesn't mean it's right....
When you really sit and think about it, the entire notion of nationality and permission to move worldwide is crazy. It's not like any of us had a say on...

Re: Proving right to rent

Yes, sounds like something else that an MPs cousin "designed" ;) Gyro Magician, I hope you can get it to work, maybe it needed more time to sync systems?

Re: Timeline for parts of a move

So weirdly, I work with HSBC a lot over here so reached out to them at the start of this process and it was a dead end. They sold off their US banking arm to Citizens Bank, and in the UK they have...

Re: Timeline for parts of a move

I did mention it to them, but they seem weirdly reluctant and honestly, that's going to take possibly a month to be fruitful anyway.

Re: Has anything changed with supporting documents for proof of a relationship?

We've been married 18 years and living together for more than that. I think the notion of putting this together and running a con for 15+ years just to sneak into the UK is pretty far-fetched. We are...

Re: Moving back - dialysis

Oh massive, massive hugs to you.

Honestly, from having done this side of it, I'd want to stay where I had a very good network of people to help support you, the carer, alongside the patient. We...

Re: Timeline for parts of a move

Am I being super dense - did you open Wise with a UK address or US one?

Re: Timeline for parts of a move

Thanks. Yes, I think I'm just going to have to use Wise and hope my massive (hahaha) income doesn't disappear into clouds if they go bad.

I'm glad to hear they do allow US license for insurance....

Re: Moving back - dialysis

Oh crikey. First of all, massive hugs as it's a lot to go through. We supported my husband's father through dialysis and it was so much to deal with.

I know it works differently in UK to how it...

Timeline for parts of a move

So, I'm trying to work this out in terms of making the move smoother. It looks likely I'll start my UK based job next month so I need a bank account for them to pay me into. I closed my Natwest...

Re: Moving back with American family

I pay the solicitor for their advice and knowledge based on handling many of these files. In my own job I often tell my clients "this is nonsensical, but trust me, this will make it a smoother...

Re: Moving back with American family

My immigration solicitor told me the paperwork for the employment route is more onerous than savings route, if that helps.

Re: Stamped bank statements from an online bank..??

Thanks. We moved to our current bank from TD as the customer service evaporated. But it seems the new one is victim of their own success as the prior 5 min wait times have gone too. Grrr.

Re: Stamped bank statements from an online bank..??

I couldn't ask yet - I waited 80 mins for online chat to answer last night but got nowhere. I'll have to try again today.

Re: Stamped bank statements from an online bank..??

No, our US online bank just has one type of statement for download, a regular one. Nothing certified.

Re: Initial place to stay on our return to England.

Yes, this is the bit that doesn't make sense. They want you to show where you will live. But they can't tell you WHEN you will be likely getting there (as in, spouse visa in hand). So they want us to...
