When was the last extension given for your wife?

thank you for looking at my post.

last extension was on 02 july 2011 and she was with me that time here. i am aware of it that i have to give profs form last extension however i have only above mentioned documents to prove that she is been living with me.

I think you are just on the borderline. You should really really try to gather more documents - here are few ideas.
Are you registered for electrol list - get a letter from them.
registered for council tax?
car insurance? - or apply for a free insurance quote in both of your names so at least you will have one letter with both name.
any internet shopping recipts?
mobile phone bills?
any other bills?
promotion letters from stores etc.
You have got to have letters from NHS because childbirth starts a whole series of checkups and reminders etc.

Also I would not recommend you to include bank statement which has wrong address because this will complicate things. For example if they see another letter from same period with a different address this will seem suspicious.

good luck mate.

You can use your child's full birth certificate as a proof aswell. I think you should be fine along with the documents that you already have.

Hi I am also in same situation where I do not have much cohabitation documentation but my wife received lots of NHS letters and hospital letters for my daughters since birth but they didn't specify her name but rather they address as: To parents of <my daughters names>. Would this suffice?

No mate i dont think they will count (its just my opinion, UKBA requirement is not clear on this). Mothers also normally get letters for various check ups etc.

Evidence spread evenly is key. Since your last extension was ~2 years ago you should aim for a joint letter or one each for every 4 months. The total should be ideally from at least 3 different sources. However, whatever you have got will have to do. Letters like credit card statements, bank statements, nhs letters, hmrc letters etc... Are good.

Pl. read experiences of in this Forum. Then check your documents you have with those documents. I am sure you will be able to find some more.Good Luck.

You could add your Marriage Certificate.

thanks Kevin24

i have got marriage certificate i will add that too thanks again for suggestion

If you got UK driving license those can also be used, apart from that any letter which has your wife name on it can also be used. It is not important that you should have for every month, if you can show them per quarter that should also be fine. The intention is only to check that this marriage is not marriage of convenience which is kind of abusing the immigration system. Above all the biggest proof would be the extension itself which was given 2 years back so carry all that and you would be fine. I dont see this to be a big hurdle. Good luck and do share your experience..
