Thanks for your reply , highly appreciate your prompt reply .

Question4: Yes, I have their biometric residence permit (BRP) number --> I answered it No as she currently holds citizenship and has British passport--> Is this correct?
You mentioned : Yes
Follow-up question : Do you mean my answer 'No' is correct or it should be 'Yes' and i should share BRP number?

Question7: If they have one, what is Mrs XXXXXXXX's sponsor license number? -> I shared license from COS however that COS is already expired and she also no longer working for same employer --> Is it correct, she currently holds British citizenship?
You mentioned : Enter old details
Follow-up question : License number i shared in application is from the application which is her Tier2 general application which is the oldest application. So i am considering Old detail meant in your reply is the License number from her old application.

Thanks for your support on my queries,, really appreciate .
There is one additional question which is related to consent.

Question11: Are you the partner or child of your sponsor? --> I selected 'Partner' --> Does it mean my wife need to sign consent ' PART 3: Consent for the Home Office to verify information from third party sponsor' --> Even though i am not financially dependent?

No. Leave part 3 empty
