yep i agree but we are talking about opening a bank account if he works that's up to him and the consequences that follow that I had the same problem opening an account even with a marriage visa and all the documents one could possibly provide you cab get letters from immigration and a host of other things it makes absolutely no difference to the bank especially over the last 6 months banks are playing there own game now hence so many posts trying to open account just pay a agent and be done with it ...
