Showing co-habitation - spouse visa extn

[rshelar]

Hi,

I am in the process of applying for a spouse visa extension for my wife.

I have query regarding "items of correspondence"

We have only two unique sources where letters are addressed in joint names to us.

The HO guidance says -

Items of correspondence should be addressed to you jointly or in both your names. The dates of the items of correspondence should be spread evenly over the whole 2 years. They should be from at least 3 different sources. If you do not have enough items in your joint names, you may also provide items addressed to each of you individually if they show the same address for both of you. For example - 4 items of correspondence in joint names to the same address and 2 items addressed to each partner at the address. In total 8 items would need to be submitted. If you and your partner have no bills or correspondence in joint names to the same address and 2 items addressed to each partner at the address. In total 8 items would need to be submitted. If you and your partner have no bills or correspondence in joint names, you will need to submit 12 items (6 each) of correspondence evidencing that you reside together at the same address.

Based on this, can I use four joint letters from the same two sources and two letters each addressed individually from two other sources?

OR do we need to provide 6 items individually? What I am not sure if those 6 have to be different sources?

Also, another question on IHS please-

Do I pay IHS for 2y 6 months or 2 y and 9 months?

Thanks
