@PayPal_paula Thanks for your comment.
Yes, I'm aware of that but my bank statement was rejected. Probably it's because I used TransferWise?
That's the only bank account I have right now..

@kernowlass Yes, I have read that. That doesn't answer my question unfortunately. Thank you though.

@hana14 Hi and welcome,
I can see that @kernowlass has kindly provided you with a list of accepted documents. Thank you Kernowlass. If all of the bills are in your husband's name then you can send in a copy of a card or bank statement in your name instead.
Thanks for posting
Paula

I have a statement that was provided by the immigration on March, 2018. It has my name, my address, and my picture. Would it be accepted?
