If you did not live together for any part of the 2-year period, 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 2-year period.

We haven't had a last grant of leave, this is the 1st grant of leave we are applying for , from fiancée visa 6 months now applying for FLR M first time, we only gotten married on the 4th of July very difficult to get all that joint mail in short time, we have one joint two for me and my husband 4.

yes--i know its a problem--but you do need more mail. according to the flr app form--you can have more than one from the same sender. ( maybe 2 bank statements for instance.)

get your water and energy bills changed over to joint accounts--and ask for a letter addressed to you both.. also--your council tax bill will have to be in joint names now. what about letters and documents about your wedding--any in joint names ?

i'm not trying to make your life difficult--but it is your money !

I think bigmac is right. Contact your electric/water board. They should change it there and then with a fone call, then get them to send an estimate or even a resend of the last bill. It is a requirement and proof of cohabitation.

Problem with is the flat water and electricity is all inclusive with the rent as we all share in the flat, already have the council tax joint, just hope what I got is good enough as there's really nothing else i can join together with...

If you are struggling with joint letters then it would be better if you explain as you have in your above post on the blank page on the application. Better to give the UKVI an explanation than just not submitting enough letters.

You beat me to it. As you say, be upfront, explain why.

I agree, a couple of sentences given as an explanation could save a whole lot of heartache and hassle.

Thanks, I will do that, hopefully I can scrape something together before Saturday.

why saturday ? are you going for premium same day service ?

Yes premuim service

who is this WE who all share the flat ? has your accommodation circumstances changed since you got the visa ?
i'm thinking overcrowding.

It's a big house divided into 4 flats it's not over crowded we have our own kitchen bathroom bedroom living room ect.

Our application was successful, they took everything except the wedding photos, the correspondence evidence was accepted joint bank statement and council tax with bother our names,4 letters addressed for him 5 for me, many thanks for your guidance and advice!!

Well done young lady

I'm glad you made the point of the UKVI not accepting the wedding photos, not needed for the FLR

well done--thanks for sharing the good news--this will help others going for flr.

Congrats on your good news Coolystme.
