Problem with upcoming Spouse renewal ! Please help

Post by Nshompoo » Fri Mar 23, 2018 12:29 pm

Hello,

It’s my first time using this site and I hope I am posting in the correct forum.

My husband is a British citizen, and I am an American citizen. We decided that it was best we stay in the U.K., since he has worked with the same company for the past 13 years. We are due to renew our spousal visa next year (2019). We have everything covered as far as Finances and paperwork dealing with his income.
I was lucky enough for the past year or so to be able to stay home doing our DIY home renovations. Once the home is complete, I plan on rejoining the work force.

Here is the tricky part, some how I missed the part about “ we will have to prove that we have been living together by changing the bills over to both of our names to cover the entire 2 years visa” !! We have living together, and taken a couple of trips back to America to visit my parents. ( have proof of tickets and purchases )

Since I haven’t been working, we didn’t think to add my names to any bills, or bank or anything like that. ( I still have my bank from America which I use to pay my college student loans and credit cards). Today I was reading up on the renewal process and came across the article about proof of living together and now I’m scared to death that I may have made a big giant mistake! Could any one please let me know if they have heard of this kind of situation ? Or know of a site where I could read for answers or know what I can use to prove that we have lived together. We plan on doing the changes to the bills today but that doesn’t cover the past year or so of our lives here together.
The only thing I have is, a letter from the Doctors office when I registered and junk mail from things I brought online. I also have pictures from our summer bbq and such. Please help, if anyone has the knowledge to guide me, I would be so appreciative.

Thanks for your time.
