Below are the responses based on how I filled.
In my case I selected 'Apply for someone else' but your wife is the applicant and you need to fill the application as if she is filling it.
1. Family details section asks for details of applicant family, spouse, father, mother etc - since your wife is the applicant you need to fill your details.
2. Your wife need to sign it. If you have selected 'Apply for someone else' then it will also show your name in 'Form filled by' column.

Appendix 2
1.3, 1.4: tricky, I guess you can say from birth or several years etc and provide more details in 'Additional information' section or explain in cover letter.
1.6: say how often you meet, since your are in a different country you just have to provide the date you last met, probably explain in cover letter or additional info.
1.19: It is asking whether you lived together in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partner (before or after your marriage). I understand the civil partner bit makes sense before marriage, not sure why after marriage?
1.25: if you don't have any then No. Sending money for her expenses is not an issue, you are her sponsor anyway. I think the intent is to understand whether you will be able to support her or not (in case if you have many shared responsibilities)
1.28: Again same as 1.25, whether you support parents etc

category A if same employer for more than 6 months.

Here is my response, based on how I filled these forms. (I am also the sponsor but for my husband)

1)Third Section Family Details Spouse / Partner
Add your details as you are the spouse of the applicant.

(2)Declaration Part after filling the online form then it goes to declaration part.
I just typed the applicants name. When your wife attends her biometrics appointment, she should take this printed VAF4A with her, signed and dated above her name.

Appendix 2

(1.3) When u first meet your sponsor in person?
I don't think there is a wrong or right answer here. You know each other since birth but you could also write the date of anytime before your marriage, for example the last time you visited.

(1.4) Where did you first meet in Person? same again, you could write any date that you remember meeting her on one of your visits.

(1.6) How often do you meet? You could write the dates in October that you met her
OR somebody advised me to write 'we met daily'-as in we saw each other daily when I was in Pakistan, I am not confident in my answer though!

(1.19) Have you lived with your sponsor in a relationship akin to marriage or a civil partnership at any time (including since your wedding or civil partnership ceremony)? You should write YES. Because I assume you lived with your wife for some time after the wedding?

(1.25) Do you and your sponsor have any shared financial responsibilities?
I'm not sure about this one because my situation was different.

1.28 Is your sponsor responsible for supporting anyone financially, including any children listed above? You can write No.

And last which category for financial requirement? 3A, Category A?
I was 3A Category A. If you have been with the same employer for at least 6 months, in the UK then i think this is correct.

Regarding Appendix 2. Though being a british citizen I am not settled in the uk. But staying together with my family outside the uk. Now going to apply for my spouse. In the appendix 2 form there is only mentioned that spouse of a settled person option but no option like spouse of a british citizen. Then where to put cross? I am sorry if I am writing in a wrong group.
