Your list looks fine but i advise you do the following:

Have a look at these links, i hope they will be able to give you a clear picture:

Yes, take photocopies, it may save you time while there.
Take the photos if it gives you a piece of mind
Take all documents with your names & address on ( that way you submit what they ask for)
You don't need her mother's passport copy.

Make sure you are using the current SET M form. Don't forget the photos too!

Good luck.

ILR or FLR

Hi, I am not sure whether to submit ILR or FLR for my wife once her Spouse visa expires.

She was granted Spouse visa on 26th November 2010 in Pakistan.
She actually arrived in the UK on 28th May 2011 (because she was 8 months pregnant she wasn’t allowed to travel until delivery).
Her Spouse visa expires on 26th February 2013.

My understanding is we can apply 28 days before her visa actually expires, so with that in mind she would have been in the country 21 months since her arrival in UK. That is 3 months short of 24 month qualifying period for ILR.
My Wife has not travelled out of UK since she arrived in UK.
Will the UKBA agency put her application on hold until she qualifies for 23 months or shall I submit FLR in Jan 2013?
Thanks

I think you will have to apply for an extension first, then ILR
