I was planning to add my name/open a joint account with my husband. Would this solve the address issue without further barriers? 

 

Thank you for all your input so far everyone! It's very reassuring. 

Usually you need two different proofs. Yes, bank statement from joint account would work, if your name is listed. But also include second document such as utility bill.

@OldUser Ah. Sadly I have pretty much nothing. I'm a clean slate here: I'm living with him and his parents for now until I can get my feet on the ground. Car, job, house, etc. I have no utility bills, no bank accounts (yet). 

 

All I have is my passport, my visa, hopefully the USCIS letter including my SSN and my green card, whichever comes first, and that's that. 

 

It's looking like I'll have to try and get a joint account to start getting anywhere. Or take out a phone contract or some kind of bill from a provider here while I get my US phone number sorted out. Then I can use it as a possible utility bill of sorts...

I presume he has a credit card or two as well? Def get added as a second/authorised user. That will give you some strong paperwork if needed but CRUCIALLY it also helps with getting your credit score set up which you need in the US, even more than in the U.K.  

 

None of your uk credit history transfers to US so it’s like you’ve just been born! Def look at that for multiple reasons.
