1. I have been on Tier 4 visa for 3 years and then PSW for 2 years and Tier 2 General for 3 years then again switch into Tier 4 general for 2 years- So in total 10 years- am I eligible to apply for ILR- Under Long residence?

2. As mentioned earlier I am currently on a tier 4 visa which is due to expire in Feb 2020 and I will complete my 10 years on 29 September 2019- So can I submit my application online by 2nd of September 2019 taking into account 28 days prior to qualifying period criteria. If yes, then one of the questions on the application form is how long you've lived in the UK for? Am I ok to assume to put 10 years when applying on 2nd September 2019 although the actual 10 years would be on 29th September 2019?

3. I've married a UAE national and currently, she is in UAE doing her masters, although we don't live together in the UK due to work and studies commitment, however, we try and see each other every couple of months. now the question I have is - while filling application one of the questions was "Do you and your partner currently live together?" I answered "No" and then following up question was "Why do you not live with your partner?" So I explained that's she is currently studying etc and we see each other when possible".

Now, UKVI is asking for following documents -(Evidence you have to prove the relationship
with wife (for example marriage certificates)- and correspondence addressed either to you jointly, or in both of your names, or addressed individually to you at the same address, to cover the last two years)

So I can provide marriage certificate however I cannot any correspondence as my wife is not living in the UK- so I am a bit confused whether they are asking for documents from UAE or UK- any suggestion on this would be greatly appreciated.

4.Document(s) showing the immigration status of my wife's such as a passport, biometric residence card, or vignette- Again as she is not a UK resident, I wouldn't have any of those documents- although I can submit copy of UAE passport- will that be sufficient?

However, can be annoying and ask your opinion on why UKVI requesting those documents>, in fact, let me paste the list of documents UKVI requested in order

First Item on List of Documents

Evidence you have to prove the relationship with Wife (for example marriage certificates) and correspondence addressed either to you jointly, or in both of your names, or addressed individually to you at the same address, to cover the last two years.

Second Item on List of Documents

Proof of my relationship status as the married or civil partner of XYZ

Fourth Item on List of Documents

Document(s) showing your wife immigration status such as a passport,
biometric residence card, or vignette

On a separate note, one of the questions was as below

Do you have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK? (Required)
For example, include any information you wish to be considered about the welfare or best interests of any children who will be affected by the decision or medical evidence such as evidence of serious ill-health.

So I selected the option – I do have any other reasons for wanting to stay in the UK.

Hi Shahzy,
I also have the similar questions as you ( about the proof of relationships and identity of my partner ) while filling the form ILR for Long Residence.
so wondering have you submitted ur application without those documents and how is it going ?
