hi.
I migrated to the UK through tier 1 - ent, 200K in Jan 2017. I have got my ILR in Sep 2020 through a 3-year accelerated route.
my partner along with 5 children join me in June 2017 and get their three-year extension in Sep 2020.
now in June 2022, my PBS dependent will complete 5 years and be entitled to apply for ILR.
I have the following questions;
1- guideline and application link: please can you share the right guideline in my situation along with the application submittal link.
2- English language: My three children are over 18 years. 2 of them passed the GCSE English in uk and one of them has a UK BS degree. are three or one of them except for the English language test (B1) by submitting their GCSE English test certificate or UK passed BS degree?
3- income and maintenance funds: my 18+ years children are living with me and they don't have any source of income. is there any evidence of income/ maintenance funds proof will be provided and who shall provide this? ie from lead applicant or applicant?
4- Is all 18+ required to pass life in UK test?
5- what documents have to submit from my side (lead applicant)
thanks

two more questions pls
....6. i can see that there are no 5 years or absent requirements of PBS child. can I apply for their ILR immediately without waiting until June 2022 to complete 5 years?
7) what do you suggest, if i should apply the partner and children ILR at the same time or 1st i apply for my partner under super-priority, once he get her ILR then apply for the rest of the family.

1) Counting 5 years from the first visa issue date minus 28 days is the earliest you can apply
2) As long as the children have visa, it is ok

i have started filling out the application of my partner (wife) as advised above. once I have completed her application there is the option "additional applicant" . should i use this option to add my other children as our children living with us or should I create an individual application for them?

The criminality thresholds for visa/ILR is defined in the immigration rules. There is a whole guide on this:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... riminality
In a nutshell, driving offences of FPNs do NOT affect ILR unless you are disqualified from driving. Then the rules allow the caseworker to refuse your ILR under discretionary refusal (for example if you are a persistent offender). If you however end up with a
recordable offence in the last 24 months, the refusal is then mandatory. I suggest reading the guide above.

let me make more clear to be more specific
he got a driving offence by driving a car without insurance and he gets 8 points.
he is automatically disqualified from driving due to points more than 6.
he doesn't mean to drive the car without insurance. I hold the comprehensive insurance, and he is also holding the comprehensive insurance. we have listened that we can exchange our cars but unfortunately this rule was not applicable for under 25 years.
1) can we write and explain this situation, is it helpful to get discretion?
2) to avoid mandatory refusal, 24 months should count from the offence date (25/05/20) or penality letter date (18 sep 2020)?
please guide

You seem to be repeating yourself without paying attention to the advice given. The offence is not recordable so there is NO mandatory refusal. You need to understand the definitions. To refuse or not will be at the caseworker's discretion as per rules for NON-recordable offences.

Add children to the same application
thanks. your answer was very important to me.
I was filling out the application of child over 18 years and found that there are no questions related to the English language test and life in UK test.
is it normal or am i doing any mistake?

A
"If your parent or relative is applying for settlement
They may be able to include you on their application instead"
B
If they’ve already applied for settlement and they do not have a decision yet, you can apply as a child separately.
in my case, i am applying under scenario "A" above. they already have life in UK test and English I can attach these docs. but I can see in the application form there are no any column /questioner related to english test /life in UK.
is it normal?

@zimba you are such a great hero of this group.
based on your guidline above, i have submitted the ILR application of my PBS dependent children (3 of >18Y old and 2 <18Y old) and partner under priority fees and get my acceptance decision within 24 hours.
now I want to proceed with the naturalisation application.
kindly can you guide me if;
1) should I wait for one year to apply for naturalisation for children (>18Y or <18Y) or partners or should i apply immediately?
2) what is the application link pls?
3) child over 16Y is still my dependent and not working and having no salary slips/jobs. is there any special link to apply NA for the dependent child over 18 years.?
thanks
javed

Congratulations. I suggest starting a new post in the British citizenship forum for your query
Children do not naturalise, they get registered as British. Their eligibility depends on if they were born in the UK or not and the status of their parents. Adults above 18 must apply for naturalisation on their own and spend at least one year with ILR. The only exception is if they are
spouses of a British citizen which means they can apply immediately after getting ILR.
For registering children use the form MN1:
https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/mn1
For naturalization of adults, use form AN:
https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... onality-an

Quick question @ javaidmr
Did you apply for your child ( >18 ) ILR application separately or together with your Spouse application? You feedback will help me in my case. Thanking you .
