Hi,
An update for benefit of others. After writing a detailed letter to HO quoting the rules, I have now received the refund for other child as well. Thank you all who helped.

This is where I send the letter. Mention the subject on top of the envelop :

Home Office & Immigration,
Level 4

Thanks for the reply. Is it that the first part is for main applicant and the second part for dependants clearly mentions before 11 Jan, 2018 the Absence criteria won't apply to the dependants. Anyways we are planning to apply ILR initially only for my wife just to minimise the monetary risk. In the...
