As for the bank account, we're hoping to get an account with halifax but the application came back since I "failed" to answer a section in the form that asks what my previous address was and how long I live in that address... I submitted the form with copies of my passport and visa, indicating that I don't have a previous UK address as I am on a fiancee visa.. could be my mistake since I deliberately didn't put anything as I don't have a previous address in the UK (the form is seemingly telling the applicant to fill in a UK address as it was formatted as such)... anyway, the form came back this morning telling me to write on that area and I wrote my address in the Philippines.. let's see what they will say about that!
Well done on persevering ! with the snow and sub-zero weather..and teh hassle our NHS admin staff have given you...it could hardly be described as a warm welcome!
