Spouse visa extension May

[finord]

Hi All,

I’m preparing a UK spouse visa extension and wanted to ask about others’ experiences on when there is gap on letter for the first 6-12 months.

We’ve been living together continuously since I arrived on Oct-23,in the earlier months we stayed rent-free with friends. As a result, there are some gaps where documents are only in one person’s name rather than both.

The evidence I have:
Oct-23 to May 24: Sponsor bank stm + GP Letter (I will speak with the GP to provide a letter saying I was registered)
June-24-May 25: Separate NHS letter + bank stm
May 25: Join letter (council tax + water bill).

We had a baby in Jan 25, so that hopefully shows it is real one.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s applied with missing months or uneven correspondence and whether this caused any issues.

How much should I explain on the supporting letter (ie. we did not had joint letter until we found a rent on our name).

Thanks

You aren't required to submit evidence for each month of the 2.5 year period.

The general guidance is for 6 separate examples of joint address from 3 different sources. For example 1 document every 4-5 months or so. Any example with joint names/address/date will be accepted.
