I’m one of those people that likes to know the questions ahead of time. And, anyone can go to fill out the visa page and see the questions by typing in things and going page by page, but if you’re like me, this post will help. Below is the list of questions for the UK Settlement Visa Online Application. You’ll fill this out on the UKBA website to start the process (before biometrics and before sending your application/documents via mail).
Some of the questions have multiple choices and/or build on themselves (you’ll see what questions came up with my answers); all have a little questions mark that you can click on that will tell you what they are looking for. You can begin the application and save it, though they only keep it in their system for a certain period of time before you need to being again (I think it’s a few weeks). When you submit it, it will ask you to pay for it and then you will have a chance to make your biometrics appointment. I hope these questions help you plan and have your answers ready:
