    after 11 month waiting, what should I do?

    There is nothing that you can do. Some people might suggest you to apply for GCMS notes. In my opinion still is not necessary. Just relax a bit and wait.

    Is it possible to cause a delay in your spouse sponsorship application

    PROOF OF CONTACT

    If all you have to prove that your relationship is genuine is an explanation letter, I would not submit this application yet. You will definitely need more evidence to avoid delays or refusals. To help you better, what kind evidences have you collected?
