Thanks Tier14
Life in UK should be in education, I guess that section is more relevant to Tier4

Thats up to. Categories dont really matter as long as you upload all your docs so that fine. I personally uploaded LIUK in education as that is an education.

I submitted my application on 8th Friday, received Case ID email on 11th Monday.
Uploaded Documents and received email from Sopra Steria before appointment that all are in correct categories, readable and also all mandatory ones uploaded.
Appointment today: A bit of lengthy (2 hours) at Birmingham site and also they skip Queues.
Had a bit of argument with the lady who played this and her so called manager.
Process needs to be improved.

By the grace of Almighty, I am honoured to have the Indefinite status.
Applied 8th March
Approval Letter today
All documents as mostly mentioned on this forum
Additional: Covering letter, Monthly NEST contribution upload.Employees GDPR and other relevant Training certificates.
I am hugely thankful to all the members on this forum for their continuous input and guidance.
I would like to share that I did request to expedite the application due to my mothers illness, provided Consultant letter, with multiple admission and discharges and Other evidences. So if someone have a genuine family concern , should request that.
Mine took almost 4 months.
Regards

Dear All,
My wife Submitted ILR Tier1 Dependent Application(SetO) and we went for Biometrics Today.
Consent Form Part1 Signed by her and part2 by me.
Sopra Steria girl asked me to sign Partner Declaration , declaring her my spouse and that I have ILR.
I did not realise at that time but I feel that it was not required as She has applied ILR under Tier1 Dependent category NOT under settlement category( In her Application there is no such reference.
My only concern is it may confuse them and I do not want her clock to reset Etc.
Any advice on this please? It’s Urgent
Can I delete that Now from my end?
Regards

Did you submit evidence of cohabitation in joint names?
What did the document say exactly?
Do NOT delete anything from the system.

I don't understand this, but she does not qualify for ILR unless you have ILR. So, not sure what is wrong with that declaration - she is your spouse and I assume you have your ILR.
My comments are in no way meant to be advisory. I have no professional knowledge of immigration. These are based on my own experience, convictions and personal interpretation of publicly available information.

Consent form is what is needed only.
Where did she find the partner declaration? What was that?
Anyways, makes no difference. As long as you applied on SET(O) she will be considered for a Tier 1 dep route. For settlement route, you do not submit SET(O) so dont worry.

Dear Marc,
I got ILR in July and she completed 5 years under Tier1 dependant.
I completed form Set(O) and it generated mandatory document as @ declaration signed by me” that’s why she asked me to do that.
Consent Forms Part1 and 2 were already uploaded.
Application is clearly under Tier1 Dependent route.
