Thanks again Deepam.
I do not have kids so i believe Tenancy agreement is not needed right?
Also what do you mean by 'Original Employment Verification Letter'

yes you dont need to provide tenancy agreement. I mean your current status at work i.e., employment letter stating your job role etc.,

She is not applying. She is at her home country.

So while filling up the form, i came across that question.
Any clue? what could be the answer for that question?

SHE is the applicant. If she is in home country then YES, she is a national of the country she is APPLYING from. You are ONLY completing the form. You must complete it as if she is completing. She is NOT applying in the UK.
