Immigration health surcharge- help on payment portal

[Aunmon]

Would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with some of the options I need to choose on the Immigration surcharge portal?

Background:
Spouse aplying ILR (LR), I am applying for FLR (M) after 2 weeks from that date.

Once I provide my applicant info (FLR M applicant), it asks me to enter the details of my spouse.
Question 1 - For the question "What is the visa expiry date of the person you are joining or remaining with"

A) Given that my spouse is only going for the ILR(LR) application in 1 weeks time, what date do I give here? Any date beyond 10 years from today isn't accepted by the website.
B) Does this mean I have to wait for the ILR(LR) of my spouse to be approved for me to even start the process of paying the surcharge and then taking a PEO appointment?

If I just give a 'reasonable' date I get to next page, where I have provide the details of my spouse. One of the questions in there is the 'visa route' of the 'person you are joining or remaining with'. The only options given there are - FLR, FLR(0),PBS Dependants (1,2,5), Tiers 1,2,3,4,5, Tier 2 PBS and Discretionary Leave.
None of these if I am correct correspond to my spouse's visa route (ILR(LR))?
What do I choose?

Do not enter your wife's details otherwise it will calculate the IHS fee as too much. You must select 'apply alone'.

Thanks CR001.
the concern is that I am asked to provide the details-
"Are you applying to join or remain with a person already in the UK?
(+Add this person's details)
You don't need to add this person's details if they are a UK or EEA citizen."

If I don't add spouse's name then wouldn't that be implying my spouse is uk or eea citizen?(which is not the case)

I can share our experience as we had the same issue with IHS payment.

We mistakenly entered all the details (spouse and myself) and the total to pay was more than $2K...

Then we tried to remove the details for "the person you are joining or remaining with" but it simply doesn't allow you to remove it and keep asking for those details.

So we ended up with completing new application. We cancelled the appointment we had booked and completed new application. But this time, as CR001 advised you earlier, we haven't entered any details for "the person you are joining or remaining with" and the total to pay was slightly above $800.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Artur111. I followed the advice and have paid the surcharge.
Will update after my application is successful ! ... in a month's time.
I am sure given how complicated the forms are these days I should be back here in a few days time seeking further advice.

(Using a new login, as I am unable to login using the old one)

Good luck and don't forget to print the pages needed for the appointment.
