Urgent help please regarding innovator dependent ILR.

Post by lalakhan » Thu Sep 25, 2025 10:07 am

Hello respected moderators and group members,
I hope you are all doing well. I would really appreciate your advice regarding my family's ILR application.
I received my ILR in October 2023 through the Innovator route (3 years). Now I want to apply for ILR for my dependants — my partner and children — who have been living with me in the UK as dependants on my Innovator visa.
They have already completed 5 years of leave to remain in the UK as my dependants.
When I go to the Home Office website to apply for their ILR, I see the following options:
• Apply as a partner (family visa)
• Apply as a partner (dependant on a work visa)
• Apply as a parent (family visa)
• Apply as a child (family visa)
• Apply as a child (dependant on a work visa)
• Apply as an adult dependent relative (family visa)
Also, when I click on “Apply as a partner (dependant on a work visa)”, it takes me to a list of options:
1. Tier 1 or Global Talent dependants
2. Tier 1 migrant
3. Skilled Worker, Tier 2 or International Sportsperson dependant
4. Skilled Worker, Tier 2 or International Sportsperson
5. Bereaved partner
6. Representative of an overseas business
7. UK ancestry
8. Global Talent
9. Hong Kong British National (Overseas) (BN(O))
10. Domestic worker in a private household
11. Afghan Resettlement
12. Other purposes or reasons not covered by other application form .

Can anyone please confirm if this is the correct choice for Innovator route dependants applying for ILR after 5 years?
I'm confused about which is the correct category to choose for my family members

Thank you so much in advance for your time and support. I truly appreciate any guidance from your experience.
Kind regards,Family games

Stop spamming the forum with multiple posts on the same question and stick to one topic!!!
