Firstly I apologise in advance if this question has already been asked.
I am about to apply for my husband’s spouse Visa extension.
He is currently on the five-year route and he has completed the 2.5 years.
I meet all of the requirements in terms of finances etc. However, I have a few questions about the letter of employment and documentation dates.
How far before the actual date of the application can the letter from my Employer be dated? Try If you can to keep it within 28days of application submission
As an example if I am going to apply for his extension on the 21st of February 2022 what is the earliest date the letter can be dated?
Also, for documentation such as proof of living together, bills, letters, pictures how far back do we need to go? Pictures not required for FLRM. To cover 2 years preceeding the application date.
Is it from the date we applied for the initial spouse visa, date of decision from Home Office or from the date his BRP was issued?
I am just a little confused on this.
Finally , over the 2.5 years, between us, how many letters/bills/pics are sufficient? Can some letters be individually addressed or do they all have to have both our names? Pics not required. 6 in both your names or 6 each if individually named
Thanks
2years preceeding the application means if applying in February 2023 then the correspondence should cover from February 2021 till date.

In terms of bills in both our names. The guidance says these must be from 3 different sources.
Since the last two years, we both have only the following named jointly:
Electricity Bills
Water bill (each bill covers 6 months) - is this ok?
Council tax
Tenancy agreements (my partner is listed as a permitted occupier)
My question is, can we use these for throughout the 2 vears? e.g. spread it out over the two years but use the same TYPE of bills. Others like your letters from GP NHS, DVLA, HMRC etc can be used.
How often is good to spread out? Like ever 2-3 months? 3-4 months interval
Also, in addition to this, do we also need to submit individual named bills?
Thanks

That's fine. Most people don't even have that much. Documents from 3-4 different sources. If you get 6 different sources in any combination XY6, (XY3) X3 Y3 , X6 Y6, (XY2) X4 Y4. Where X is you and Y is spouse.Selina001 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 11:14 amOk thanks a lot AmazonianX - appreciate your response
The only bills/letters we have jointly are:
Electricity Bills
Water bill (each bill covers 6 months) - is this ok?
Council tax
Tenancy agreements (my partner is listed as a permitted occupier)
So was wondering if this will suffice? I can spread them out but these are the only type of correspondence we have jointly.
Everything else is individually addressed e.g. HMRC letters, DVLA , NHS etc
Not an issue, You can combine correspondences addressed to you both and individually.Selina001 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 11:14 amOk thanks a lot AmazonianX - appreciate your response

Soon I will list all the address proof I have.
In the meantime, can I just ask about bills please?
Do I go by the date on the bill or statement dates?
e.g. electricity bill from 1s March - 31st March but statement date is 1st April. I am assuming this bill can be used for March's address proof? Yes, those are trivial issues
Also, can I use statements which are for 6 months. E g. Water bill statement 1st August 2022- January 2023) - can this be used as evidence for all months inclusive? Not really. Any bill can be used to cover 3-4 months. Not half a year. It's like attempting to use your P60 to cover the whole year. It doesn't work like that.
Thanks
