Hello,
My Polish girlfriend might be moving to the UK shortly however I am struggling to work out the best way to get her a job. I have spoken with a few companies I work with who might offer a job, however they tell me they cannot make an offer without proof of address. My next thought was to get a bank account to proove address, however they wont let you open one without a NI number and again proof of address. My final call was with the JobCenter people who issue the NI numbers, but even they wanted proof of address before they would issue a NI number.
Had anyone experianced these problems and any ideas on how to get around them? I had the idea of maybe changing something in my house into her name or joint names just to try to get a bill with her name on as a start, but I not sure if this will help or not.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
Charles
