Differences in ILR application forms for GTV Dependant

[Azm9]

I was on a Global Talent Visa and got an ILR last year. I’ve recently applied for my wife’s ILR under Set(O) as a Global Talent dependant. The application form was very simple and straightforward, and the application is still being processed.

A friend of mine was in almost exactly the same situation (Global Talent route, same dependant ILR application), and he applied for his wife’s ILR about 4 months ago. His wife has already received ILR successfully. However, his wife’s application form was much more complicated and asked very detailed questions, such as:
- Do you still have any contact with anyone outside the UK?
- Do you have friends outside the UK? If yes, provide their names and phone numbers.
- Have you worked or volunteered in the UK?
- Do you have British neighbours? If yes, what are their names?

None of these questions appeared in my wife’s ILR application form at all.

Given that our situations and visa routes are very similar, why would the online ILR application forms be so different? Is this normal, and does it mean anything about how the application will be assessed?
Does this mean that I might have used the wrong application form/link?

My wife's application form (PDF) currently shows the following:
TYPE OF VISA / APPLICATION: Set (O)
Select a category in which you are applying for indefinite leave to remain: Tier 1 or Global Talent dependants
