Gov website not asking for documents I'm seeing elsewhere

I've applied and paid for ILR S(M), my date is late next month, I have a Life in the UK test booked just prior to my ILR appointment, having not yet passed it. Will this be a problem (?) even before worrying about passing?

[CR001]

You should have done the test before you applied online. You don't get a physical test certificate anymore. You are now required to input the reference number if passing in the inline form before submitting.

The ILR S(M) form, when filled, asked if I had done the test, I answered no. It still let me pay. Is it possible to submit the reference number (if I do pass) at my later appointment?

[CR001]

If you get an email after passing, submit that it a screenshot or something.

What date is your test and what date is your appointment at ukcvas?

The test is on the 19th of March, the appointment is on the 27th.

[CR001]

That should be ok and hopefully you pass on the 19th.

Yes, thanks.

I completed my online application ILR Set(M). 5 year route. My Visa (spouse/partner leave to remain)runs out on the 6th of April.

I am having a bit of a headache post submit and paying for application, in that things asked about in the form did not seem to be compulsory to submit.

1) The online application never asked me for Life in the UK passed test reference number. I answered no as I am yet to take it...

It simply asked if I had passed it. I have yet to take it, and assumed (incorrectly) that I could take it to my appointment. CR022 answered me, and suggested I copy a confirmation email on passing and take that to my UKVCAS appointment. My LitUK is on the 19th of March. My appointment for UKVCAS is the 27th of March.

2)There was no mention of needing to provide marriage certificate, or photo's of us together in my application and supporting document checklist that I need to upload. However I have seen mention of the need to do this on the forum here, do I need to do this? Or is my current spouse visa enough?

3) The application asked if I could supply P60 or letter of employment. I checked I could supply a letter of employment, but did not check p60 as I thought it was not compulsory. Is it? I get the impression it is from these forums. I am not self employed and earn over 50k.

4) There was a question "Did you meet the knowledge of English requirement as part of an indefinite leave application made on or after 28 October 2013?

I answered NO to this question in the application. I have an MA from a UK university which I believe is evidence of my english language ability, but again, I've never applied for indefinite leave to on or after 28 October 2013. Was this correct? Are there any steps I need to take if I have answered this incorrectly?

Bit of a barrage of questions, but we've been knocked for 6 in getting the order of things wrong, that I hope we can tackle in time.

Thanks for the help! (and thread sewing) This guidance though seems specifically for armed forces, of which I'm not a member (I'm a full time, uk employed marketer). Does that matter?

It is poorly titled but covers everyone. It includes also the Armed forces family members.

The document has a double title, i.e Appendix 1.7 (applicable to you), Appendix Armed Forces (not applicable to you).

Thanks both. For the passport photocopies, I understand I am meant to take photo's of all pages, is this correct? Even blank unused? (just trying to save space for the pdf)

Good to know, thanks! In terms of visa, its my understanding that while applying I'll fall under a section 2 visa? My estate agent is telling me that they need to check whether it is legal to continue rent to me, what can I produce?

They will check this directly with UKVI when you have a pending visa application and used UK Immigration: ID Check’ app : https://www.gov.uk/view-right-to-rent
