Stuck at the first hurdle, so I'm applying for my wifes ILR, why is there not an option for spouse 5 years?

What is your wife’s immigration history? What is her current visa category?
Personal opinion only, not to be mistaken for legal advice. Please DO NOT PM me for immigration advice. Love for All, Hatred for None.

She needs form SET M and it is 5 years partner.
You can type the options the form gives you for us to comment.

Do you own or rent your home?
I'm applying for my wife, the house is in my name so do I put other and add a note that we live together or do I say 'I own' and explain that its in my name which makes more sense but then it asks about mortgage? which I have, not my wife?

For visa purposes the correct answer is "own" despite the other partner doesn't actually own it.

So if I choose 'I own' then it asks for mortgage payments, which I pay, not my wife

So I'm applying for ILR for my wife, the online form doesn't say anything about supplying a marriage cert, do I need to?

The actual time limit will be told in your UKVCAS account which will either be till the date of appointment or some hours before of it assuming you will choose self uploading. If you search the forum especially look on sticky at upwards than will find some endless conversation about it.

It asks how much do you pay for mortgage, and later how much do you pay in bills, you're saying I write in the costs to me there, for my wifes application?
