Hi Ahmed786786,
You must have seen the reply from one of our valuable member Aurnoc, but I thought to reply again to the best of my ability just for your peace of mind.
The answers to your questions are
1. The best and quickest way for you to apply for ILR.....well I would take it that this was your first visa as Tier 2, and as it is expiring in 2015, than you would still need another extension to be eligible for ILR through Tier 2 route, but if you go through the 10 years long residency route than you are open to apply after 23 August 2014, and the timeline for that now a days is 16-20 weeks, obviously depends case to case but that is a rough estimate. Mind it once you get your ILR through that route your Mrs have to switch to FLR(M) and start her time again to qualify for her ILR, and the qualifying time for that is 5 years. You have to show income of £18600, as it's just your Mrs who will be applying for FLR(M), not your son, once your receive your ILR, you can apply for your son on form MN1 to be registered as a British citizen, as he is born in UK.
2. No you don't need any letter from UK Naric, just attach original degree with transcripts and that would do.
3. I would say you don't need to provide the copy of the point calculator to prove that your degree is alright to get you the English qualification, but if you think it's important than as Aurnoc suggested, take a screen shot and attach it with your covering letter, also mention it in the covering letter, and that should be enough.
4. Ordinarily, the university should provide you with the letter, if you are asking for one, but just in case if they are not, than as I said not to worry, attach the original degree and the original transcripts, and mention that in the covering letter.
5. You are open to apply from the 23rd of August 2014, but as it is a Saturday (although you can apply), but I would suggest to apply by Monday the 25th of August 2014.
6. That is a very simple reply, just write the country of your origin, and if you still have family back home, than just write that you have parents, brothers, sisters, cousins and other relatives, and if you have, than mention that you have share in properties back home e.t.c, keep it simple as possible.
7. Regards to photocopies of documents, there is no harm in making a set of photocopies of all the documents and send it with your application, anyways you are not sending a lot of things, it's all your previous passports, biometric card, UK degree and transcripts, life in UK test result, so I don't think it should be a major problem. Regards to you saying that on the form they have not asked for the copies, let me put you correct on this, go to the last page no 28, and there is a check list which says, and I quote
Have you provided your current passport(s) or travel document(s) and all other relevant documents specified in section C and are they originals? (We also require photocopies of the same).
So they already asking you for photocopies of passports and biometric card, so there is no harm in attaching the UK degree and life in UK test result photocopies, you know what I mean.
8. Don't need to worry about that, this is the competent Home Office staff for you 
, they must have mistakenly put some one else page in your SAR, so just ignore that. Regards to attaching a copy of the letter of SAR, I would suggest that there is no need for that. Try to keep your application as simple as you can, making sure to get the latest version of SET(LR), all new photos, so that you make sure don't leave any thing to the Home Office, as you know they can make a small little excuse and send applications back.
Last but not the least, feel free to ask if you have issues with any thing, there are a lot of helpful members about, frankly who are better than any solicitor. Stay focused and get your application and documents ready. My prayers and best wishes be with you.
Kind regards
Shahjee
Thanks for your detailed reply but I still not clear as although I born in Pakistan but I am also living in the United Kingdom for about 1o years and my Mrs and Son here so confused whether they have asked about ties in the united kingdom or Pakistan as they are asking both
please help for the below again
In the SET(LR) application please help me in the question D14 as follows:
D14. Please state what ties you have with:
•The country where you were born.
•Any country whose nationality you hold.
•Any country where you have lived for more than five years.
You should tell us about any family, friends or other connections with that country
My income is not enough to apply settlement( About > £35000 required) on Tier-2 Migrant route so applying in Set(LR) so when I get ILR then I will go to PEO before applying MN1 for my son as do not want to send our passports with MN1 before getting wife FLR(M).
Please advice if they count my child as my dependent then unable to meet financial requirement as income is £20000.Although will not apply for child in FLR(M) application.
Can I as a husband with son allowed to go with wife in the PEO although only apply for Mrs or only Mrs will go?
I completed ACCCA course which is a professional qualification but in the midway after completed fundamental level I am allowed to submit a Reasearch and Analysis Project to University and I did and passed and got the degree.Post study is based on that degree and also on Tier 2 application English requirement met by that degree.So no academic reference or transcript I have except the degree.I hope this will meet English Requirement last time.I have did IELTS in 2004 and Got overall 5.5 with 6 Listening and 4 Speaking but expired within 2 years so Should also attached that as a supporting Documents,
Kind regards,
Ahmed
