Please help if you can. I have read the guidance on the UKBA site and it requires 6 items (letters or docs) which cover the entire 2 years, from atleast 3 different sources.

I came here in Jan 2011 but there is a peroid from March 2011 till June 2011 for which I have no letters or docs.
I have a letter send to me by Dept of Work and Pensions in mid March 2011  and the next item I have is the first bank statement with my spouse date 8 June 2011.

There is a 2 month gap which I have no docs / proof of cohabitation.
The only item I have is an employment contract dated May 2011 and my first pay slip dated 29 May. Could I submit my employment contract or wage slips? The guidance on the UKBA site says, bank statements, letters from gov agencies so I am not sure if this is sufficent. Also, are recipts from dentist which show my name, address and date admissable? As I could use these

I am very worried they could refuse because of this gap.

You can submit literally any single document which has your name, address and a date on it.

Thanks Victoria but would the UKBA accept it or reject things such things outright.

An immigration advisor we spoke to suggested that only what is noted in the UKBA guidance will be acceptable which is letters from the gov or banks.

This particular immigration advisor is completely wrong.  The 'list' on the form clearly states that this is a suggestion of examples of document.

Why not approach myself or one of the other experienced advisors on this board for help?

I'm getting tired of reading posts where people are getting incorrect advice from advisors. Where are they finding these people?!

Totally agree, the list is just examples!

You can submit any docs like Victoria said. Just wanted to add my wife was granted spouse visa at Croydon PEO last month and we had two gaps of two months. In my opinion bank statements cover the whole month/period and in most it clearly mentions the start and end dates. The bank statement you received on 8th June covers 9th May to 8th June (assuming its a monthly statement). I wouldn't worry too much about this.
The above is based on our application (SET M) and if you are still not confident the advisors posted above would help you.

In regards to documentary evidence for cohabitation in ILR application, Do I have to provide documents addressed to us for each month in 2 years?  Or is it Ok if few months are missed in between?  And can that be any letter addressed to us such as GP / Employer / Bank / Electoral?
