Tier1 dependant

[esrsx]

Hi

My wife is applying for ILR as T1 dependant. I already have ILR granted several months ago.
Now she has all requirements (English, Life in UK test) met and is applying for it.
Documents requested online application are;
- passport
- life in the UK Test pass notification
- consent form for the Home Office to request verification checks
- language test certificate
- Evidence of immigration status
- Declaration signed by applicant confirm consent for the Home Office to request verification checks
- Current Biometric Residence Permit

My questions are;
1. Many people posted about cohabitation. On the application process, it was not really requested. Why do they prepare evidences about cohabitation? Do we have to prepare these?
2. When trying to book appointment at Sopro Steria, service centre near us were not available and only ones Croydon and London(premium lounge) are available. Would you try again later for a centre near us or book at the available ones?

Your help would be appreciated.
