Hi
It is very easy and straightforward to get an appointment at the Sopra Steria. As I mentioned before, when you submit your online application, download the consent form and sign it by and your wife (if you are showing any joint documents). On the screen, you will see appointment, you will find few options such as one appointment for free but mostly these are a bit cuz of taken by people. I advise you to take the appointment on £100. This will be very soon as it was in the next day in my case but depends which Sopra Steria you go to. Mine one was local on walking distance. In this £100 service, you will go for finger prints etc.. and they would upload your documents if you have not already uploaded. This service for free.
Regarding, time spend in the UK, I put 10 years. So put 10 years, the 28 days criteria covers in ten years so dont worry just put 10 years. They know it.
Regarding travelling, I put the date I left and return and for reason I wrote family visit or holiday.
Yes I wrote the names of my parents and sisters and brother. I further wrote I do contact them regularly via phone and apps.
Regarding friends, I put their names and their occupations. I said I do contact them via phones and apps such as imo... We discuss jobs and research in our discussion.
regarding social ties, I said no. I wrote I do contact friends and family members as I have been very busy in work and study so limited myself to just family and friends.
regarding other reasons, I wrote few paragraphs containing lawfull living here from the last ten years. I studied and worked here and adjusted here easily. I have social connection here and also do serve in community services. I praised the life quality, NHS and the respect of British people. It is a secure place for our family including kids future.
You can upload all the documents including marriage certificate, passport copies, all visas, family members visas and passport, degress, life in the UK, bank statements, Utility bills etc...
The consent form is must to be signed and uploaded to the last section sopra steria. I thought it will be sent with the passport and documents but sopra steria does not send any document, they just check your uploaded documents and passport scan.... fingerprints.. Thats it. I downloaded the form for myself but they dont check and dont send in hard copies, The online submission is enough. So, dont worry just Bismillah.. and you will get it easily IA. Just go for it rather than mentally disturb yourself.
