Assuming that you were in the UK on 01 Feb 2007, and had leave to remain as as work permit holder, then you may all apply for ILR from 4 Jan 2012.

Baby doesn't need to, if you intend to register baby as a British citizen after being granted ILR.

Hello Vinny,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
As my visa expires on 01-Feb-2012, do I need to renew My workpermit visa before I apply for ILR?
or shall I directly apply for ILR?
Why I am asking..
for ILR, WP holder needs to apply 28 days before 5 year visa completion date ie my visa expire date too

and I think ILR processing takes 6-8 weeks (2 Months), so in that time my visa status is nothing.. I mean I have no visa
Is that okay!!!
Sorry to bother you with all my queries

Please advise.
