Proof of relationship for extension

Hi there,

I have a british passport and my wife's visa is due for renewal. She has been living with me and working in the UK, how do we prove our relationship? As in when we first applied we explained as to how we met, our chats, calls and email exchanges. Do we still need to do this? I have some utility bills in our names, flat rental contracts in our name, is that enough or do we still need to provide chats, calls log?

Please advice as to how much information will suffice the need for the extension.

No chats history etc. You need to provide 2 years evidence of cohabitation.

Thanks, what would be sufficient? We have some utility bills with both our names and some separate for the same address, is that enough to prove that we live together in the same address?

"If your application is as the partner of a settled person or person who is in
the UK with refugee leave or humanitarian protection
Six items of correspondence addressed to you and your partner at the same address as
evidence that you have been living together since your last grant of leave in this category, or
from the date you first started living together up to a maximum of two years. See Note 11.
Note 11 The items of correspondence should be addressed to you jointly or in both your names.
Examples of acceptable items are listed below. The documents provided must be originals.
Photocopies are not acceptable.
The dates of the items of correspondence should be spread evenly over the whole period you
are relying on. 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 - Four items of correspondence in joint names to the same address and two items
addressed to each partner at the address. In total eight items would need to be submitted.
If you and your partner have no bills or correspondence in joint names, you will need to submit
twelve items (six each) of correspondence, evidencing that you reside together at the same
address.
If you and your partner lived with relatives or friends for some or all of the period you are relying
on, please provide a letter from the relative(s) and/or friend(s) confirming this.
If you did not live together for any part of the period you are relying on, tell us the reasons for
this and whether you stayed in contact with each other during this time, and provide any relevant
supporting evidence.
Please give an explanation on a separate sheet if you cannot provide six items; if the items are
not addressed to both of you; or if they do not cover the period you are relying on."
