APPLYING FOR ILR... NEED HELP N ADVICE PLEASE!!!!

Hi there,
Iam applying for ILR after being here for nearly 11 years.
I entered the country in 22/10/2000 as my dad was doing a PhD so was under his visa and then under my mum's visa as she was doing a masters.
Then in 2007 i got my own student visa when i went to university.
There are no gaps in my visa during the 10 years and i have never been outside the Uk for more than 6 months at one time.
I have a few questions and would really appreciate your help

-Apart from the Set(O) form do i need to give anything else? such as bank statements or payslips or utility bills? Also do i need to give a covering letter??

-Do i need to give things such as school letters or uni letters or doctor letters or is my passport enough?

-Some holidays that i went to i spent 3 months at one go. Is that ok or should i give a reason (with evidence) on why i was away for that long?

-Also my date stamps for arriving in Egypt are in Arabic (no english) but my UK entry stamps are in english.. Do they have translators in the home office that know arabic??

-Also waiting times, realistically how long do u think the application would take?? iam planning on applying to the one in Glasgow.

Any more advice would be very much appreciated

THANKS

You should be okay if you also haven't spent more that 18 months in total outside the UK.

Not sure if you noticed that the last post above yours is about 11 months old.
Unless the OP has tracking replies on, don't keep your hopes high for a response.
