After 33 months on spouse visa in UK, FLR(M) asks for 6 evidence of living together from 3 different sources.

I submitted spouse visa online application from outside UK on 4th April 2017, with date of planned arrival as 1st Oct 2017.

Thanks @seagul. I will send additional bank statements to Sheffield then.
Some posts say...don't send any additional documents to Sheffield until they write to you and ask. I am assuming in my case, I can still send bank statement even without them asking?
