    Do you mind if I ask how much you had to pay in international minutes or what the total cost was with the £3 transfer fee included as well?

    Hi all, Sorry for the late response on this but my fiancée did call the bank and they said I would need a California Driving License or California ID Card and just the membership application form. To get one of the photo ID cards I will need to go to the DMV where they will ask for proof of residency and so I will need to be added to her utility bills. For her water bill she did call and they said that I need a photo ID, fill out Update Account Form to add me to the utility bill and to show proof of ID. So I think what will do is get my SSN first, then once I get that go to the DMV for California Driving License ($45) or California Photo ID ($29), once received then get added to my fiancées utility bills and then apply for a bank account.

    I think I might already have a HMRC account but I will check. Thank you for the advice

    What did they say to you? And which bank was this with?

    Hi all, Just an update on this. My fiancée has added me as an authorised user on her credit card and they said they would send a credit card for me to her. They only asked her for my name and my date of birth. They advised her to speak to a credit agency in terms of information on how I can build my credit score. She spoke to the credit agency and they said that I wouldn’t build any credit until I get my SSN in order to do that but my credit score would reflect my fiancées (which I think is around the 800 range). She is still responsible for the account though overall but I will of course be assisting with payments.

    So your wife was able to be added as an authorised person on your credit card - were you living together or separately at the time? I'm just conscious that they might say no as my fiancee is in the USA and I am living in the UK at the moment and I don't travel to the USA until next month.

    Thank you everyone for the advice so far. I have never had a credit card before so I really appreciate all the help with this. I have done an eligibility check for an AMEX card which came back as being very likely I would be approved. This would be useful in getting a UK account opened which can then be linked over to the USA and for applying a new card over there. I would have to wait 3 months at least though as I have to have held a UK AMEX account for at least 3 months. My cousin did send me a referral link to join for the AMEX Gold card (there is no fee in the first year but then a fee in the second year but the card can be cancelled within a 30 day period of the annual fee being taken from the account and that amount refunded looking at the info on the AMEX website) if I decide to apply for it. I have spoken to my fiancee and she is ok with adding me as an authorised user on her credit card (she is with Chase) until my credit score has been built up and then I can apply for my own credit card. In terms of other credit cards I am still looking into Capital One, etc.

    I will try the SSN letter but I might ask my fiancee to add me onto one of the utility bills as well
  18. SL2024
    Can your husband add you to a utility bill? And sorry to hear that you might not post updates on this. I do find your posts informative and helpful.
  19. SL2024
    Brilliant - thank you for letting me know!

    @Edward and Jaycel I just thought of a question to ask you regarding this. Is requesting an updated card more for those who have a name change from marriage or should everyone select the option for an updated card when doing the relevant forms for the AOS?
  21. SL2024
    That's great - thank you for the advice everyone.
