UK Spouse Visa

[Guest snowflakewine]

Hi all! I'm new to the website but have read a few posts on the forums and am hoping for some advice. Here goes;

 

I'm Australian and my husband is English. I'm currently residing in oz and him in England. We've been married over 2 years and living in the UK (I was on a 2 year spouse visa) but I returned to oz in October last year due family commitments and didn't have the money at the time to apply for leave to remain before I left so my spouse visa expired at the end of last year. I had to start working in oz to save money and obviously support myself before going back to the UK. I have called 1st contact to enlist their services and have been advised that because we have been apart for 6 months our application needs to be processed asap due to us looking like we're not the full quid. We have phone records and emails to prove that we've been in touch since I left the UK. The thing I'm worried about is after I left I had all my UK banks statements made electronic as Barclays were moving to the electronic statement system. I had bank statements going to our home address until I left. My husband currently resides at his fathers house where I also lived before coming back to the UK so we have no proof of rental agreements (as we lived rent free) or bills in our names. Our bank accounts were also seperate. I've been advised by 1st contact that processing times are around 3 months and they issue the visa for 2 years 3 months to give the person time to leave the country. My husband and I plan on moving to London on my return and are currently saving for that. I have savings in my UK account that exceeds the required funds necessary and my husband has also saved. I'm worried that the application may not granted due to us not having enough proof that we are legitimate (like bills etc).
