How? I moved to America for the past 2 years on the 10th, I was born and raised in the UK, I have a permenanent address at my grandmothers in Southampton, I have an active UK bank account, I moved to America as my step-dad works for a D.O.D contractor and was relocated to the US, but as he is American, we (me and my mother) were unable to apply for work visas, and our only option was a green card. The student finance people have told me that I need to prove I still have ties to the UK, but that would only really be my bank account and my grandmothers address. My mother has worked there and lived there for the vast majority of her life too. Is a statement from my bank saying I still use the account, enough? I also have a National Insurance Number.
