Hi, I’m looking for some advice . Applied for ilr spouse visa (final one thank god) on August 3rd 2019. We got an email today saying that before the application can be processed we are required to send further evidence of us living together from August 2017 until March 2018. We are very confused as the exact wording was “Documentary evidence to show that you and your wife have been residing together between August 2017 through to March 2018. This evidence should be from at least 6 official sources and addressed to BOTH parties either jointly or separately.
We are wondering does this mean 6 separate letters for each (we don’t have any joint) or does this mean 6 overall and perhaps 3 each. It’s a very short space of time to be able to supply 6 each ....help please

You are supposed to send cohabitation documents for the last 2 years to prove a subsisting relationship. 3/4 different source spread evenly across last 2 years i.e. every 3/4 months. You should have sent it with your application to avoid delays.
Ideally a couple docs should be in joint names. If not, top it up with solo names but same address.
Council Tax Bill
Water/Elec/Gas bills
Bank statements
NHS letters
UK driving license
TV license etc

Official- NHS, home office, gp surgery, utility bills, council tax, tv licence, bank statements, credit card statements, mortgage, school etc etc.

Thank you for both replies. New to this and not sure if I’m replying correctly . We now have 7 sources from my wife with several dates between August and March . I only have 4 sources , should I send all these and hope they are accepted do you think?
Appreciate the responses thank you

Thanks again.
We have evenly spaced out the dates so fingers crossed.
