Settlement of Parent of a British born British children

Hi There,

I was granted LR on the basis of my British born British children. When this LR expired, I reapplied for the extension of visa in the same category. After the visa was granted, I moved into the house to leave with my children where they were leaving with their mother.
In the new application, I added the detail of the other half as she asked me to do so. Although, I did not apply for, but the home office granted me a LR with a spouse visa. I inform the home office that I have not applied for and to explain to me why they put me on spouse visa with a 10 years rout. They replied to me re-apply using a correct form and pay the fee.
Now as It has been continuous 5 years since my previously granted LR on the basis of children and I would be eligible for settlement if I was granted the last visa in the same category (parent of a child 5 years rout) but it is not.
Is there anyway, now I can apply for settlement(ILR) on the basis of my children? any advice would be much appreciated?
Regards
MR

If you are living with the other parent of your children, you no longer qualify under the Parent route to settlement. This is for a parent living separately from their child/children or have sole parental responsibility.

Thank you Casa,
I did not know that when i was moving to the same house, I moved only for the sake of children to support. However, I know this now. Now I do not want to keep the spouse visa status, there are reasons for it. I would like to switch to parent of a child. However my question was, as I did not apply for the spouse visa but I was granted anyway, and i have sent a couple of letters to HO, Is there any chance I can apply for the settlement now?

You stand a better chance of winning the National lottery than UKVI granting you settlement.

Haha
That's great I would love to win a lottery, it will be a lot easier as UK immigration is now all about money not rather principles. Rules are rules and respect rules, but rules should be based on principles not just for the sake of it. Why would I be punished for helping my children to live in with them.
