P60s not required.

Certificate of no impediment is not required. Divorce papers not required if already proved free to marry for initial spouse visa.

Proof of difficulty living outside the UK is not required.

Housing inspection report is not required.

Biometric page if husband's passport only.

You need to scan both your passports biometric pages and stamped pages.

Thank you for confirming these points! It didnt allow me to edit but I will post the remaining questions below:

1. On the Other Documents section on the Online Application form, a P60 is specifically mentioned on the list as required 'for the relevant period(s) of employment relied upon'. Is this misleading?
2. On the Other Documents section on the Online Application form, a Signed Contract of Employment is asked for from my Husband. Is this the first letter that was signed when my Husband was employed, or will the Letter from his employer, stating Job Title, Length, Salary etc be enough?
3. My IELTS A2 Exam is on the 25th July, if I dont get the result or ceritifcate on the day or before I submit my application, can I provide the reference number or do they explicity want a certificate scan?
4. Do I need to send my original passports(old and new) to them, or is it all scanned online?

1. P60 still can be supplied whilst making a request to treat it as a cohabitation evidence instead financial because it usually contain irrelevant financial information for visa purposes.

2. Usually employer letter is sufficient. Not sure that why the application form still asking the employment contract which will certainly be older than 28 days.

3. If the test centre hasn't changed their practice into only providing the pass notification instead a result report/certificate then more you will have received it before your date of biometrics which can be uploaded until then.

4. All online

5. Father's noc letter instead letter of support will be needed

Thank you for confirming once again. There are so many misconceptions on what is exactly required by the Home Office and it doesnt help with some ambiguous statements on the online form checklists. Much appreciate the help :)

Meeting the 'Proof of Living Together' Requirement

Post by gorgon777 » Wed Jul 15, 2020 10:32 pm

Hi,

I have the below items of correspondance address separately to my spouse and myself, as well as a single joint correspondance. My leave started on 04/12/2017 and ends 30/08/2020. A couple of questions:

1. Would these meet the criteria?
2. How even does the spread of the dates on the letter be. The letters are not even, but not totally skewed towards a certain time of year either. Is this acceptable?
3. Can my spouse use 6 different sources even if i spread them across the 2.5 years of leave?

Myself
SourceContentDate
NHSGP Registration Letter01/2018

UUWater Bill (joint)06/2020
My Spouse

1. In terms of number of sources and number of documents, yes, it would appear so. However, you only need to cover the two years prior to the date of application for the extension, not the whole validity period of the current visa.

2. The spread is supposed to be roughly evenly, how strict this is applied is a bit of an unknown. It would appear there are large gaps of nearly a year in what you are proposing to provide (e.g. 10/2018 to 07/2019 for yourself and 08/2018 to 06/2019 for your spouse). To cover the last two years, the dates for 6 pieces of correspondence (each or joint) to be roughly evenly spread out should probably be about 4-5 months apart.

3. Yes to number of different sources, there is only a minimum of 3 different sources required in total but no maximum. See my other responses for the spread and how long it should cover.
I'm just a guy on the Internet who immigrated to the UK. My opinions are based on my experience and interpretation of the immigration rules and should not be considered legal or immigration advice; your mileage may vary.

This is a bit concerning, as I genuinely have no letters addressed to me during 10/2018 and 07/2019. My spouse does have bank letters and electric bills so he can be covered. For myself, is there an alterative method to prove I was living during the period?

Also I have my exam scheduled for the 24/07/2020, and my leave ends 30/08/2020.
1. Do I need to provide a scan of the certificate before I finish the application, hence wait a couple week for the document to arrive?
or
2. Can I state the reference number of the pass rating somehow?

You need to scan and upload the certificate. this has to be done before your bio-metrics appointment at which time you can not amend or upload again. Except if you happen to be one of those who will be selected to send your scanned document to UKVI by mail.
or
2. Can I state the reference number of the pass rating somehow? There is a space on the online form where you have to input your URN which is stated on your English test certificate.

Thanks for this clarification of the URN. I have majorly completed my online application but there is no mention of where to add the URN yet as I have only got as far as the Pay section.

A couple more questions:
1. Do I need to book a TB test for an spouse visa extension?
2. Do I have to apply 28 days before my leave expires i.e my leave expires on 30/08/2020 so i must apply before 02/08/2020?
3. Do I need a Housing Fitness Report to prove accomodation is satisfactory ?

1. No
2. Not necessarily rather can be applied until the last date of expiry.
3. No unless you are sharing with none-related adults

However, you are eligible to apply from 28days days before reaching completing 30 months in the UK counted from the day of entry into UK.
3. Do I need a Housing Fitness Report to prove accommodation is satisfactory ?
Not required for extension

If there is no way, will my application be refused if there is a gap of a year of no proof of address? I do have letters addressed to my 1 year old son which fall in the gap but they are addressed ' To the parents of'.

I don't think anyone can say with much certainty whether such a gap would be accepted or not; we can really only say what the requirements are and what any obvious areas for improvements might be. With so much being done online now, it doesn't necessarily have to be something that you actually received in the post as much as something that could have been sent in the post so things generated by online accounts like bank statements, pay slips, phone bills, insurance etc. might also be acceptable if you have any of those.

If you couldn't find anything then above letters for child to parents might work with covering letter.

I have requested the below documents:
- GP Letter confirming I was registered at the GP in Nov-19 and Feb-20, and have been registered since Dec-17.
- Dentist Letter confirming I attended an appointment in Nov-19, and my address at the time, and my next appointment is Nov-20.

Would this suffice as proof of address?

Unfortunately I have no online statements or slips I could generate either. I might be able to use a travel insurance document that states my address, is that also acceptable evidence?

If you couldn't find anything then above letters for child to parents might work with covering letter.
I have requested the below documents:
- GP Letter confirming I was registered at the GP in Nov-19 and Feb-20, and have been registered since Dec-17.
- Dentist Letter confirming I attended an appointment in Nov-19, and my address at the time, and my next appointment is Nov-20.

Would this suffice as proof of address?

I don't think anyone can say with much certainty whether such a gap would be accepted or not; we can really only say what the requirements are and what any obvious areas for improvements might be. With so much being done online now, it doesn't necessarily have to be something that you actually received in the post as much as something that could have been sent in the post so things generated by online accounts like bank statements, pay slips, phone bills, insurance etc. might also be acceptable if you have any of those.
Unfortunately I have no online statements or slips I could generate either. I might be able to use a travel insurance document that states my address, is that also acceptable evidence? Yes, include it. At this point it is for you to get as much as possible for this cohabitation requirement.

These are acceptable types.

A lot of documents seems superfluous but won't impact negatively but there are couple of gaps between cohabitation evidences of other partner which hopefully might not be noticed.
