Applying for ILR after 5 year Spouse Visa - questions about relationship being ‘genuine‘ and ‘subsisting‘

Hello ,

In order to apply for ILR after my 5 year route under Spouse Visa, to prove that my relationship with my partner is still ‘genuine‘ and ‘subsisting‘, do I still need to provide all my chat history and photos?

Or a cover letter as well as the statement letters from our direct families are sufficient?

Thanks in advance!

No

Or a cover letter as well as the statement letters from our direct families are sufficient?

No, also not required or accepted by UKVI (i.e anyone can write anything in a letter).

You need 2 years evidence of documents proving cohabitation, in both names jointly or addressed individually, from 3 to 6 different sources, spread evenly for every 3 to 4 months.
