You can all apply for ILR on 01/02/20.
Presumably ur dependants didn’t apply for any extensions after JAN 2018.

Thanks but its confusing me.
my dependants came Nov 2015 and left to my home country the stay was 4 months in UK, then again they back to Home country and again return to UK and stay was month and back to home country till 2018 Aug.
The gap more than 180 days but, I would like to understand whether this rule is applicable for dependants as well? or only main applicant?

However, could you please advise what are the supporting documents to be submitted? to apply ILR?

1. Time period between visa issue and date of entry for main applicant is an allowable absence as long as it doesn’t exceed 180 days. ( ur case)

2. PBS dependants absences are not subject to absence limits if leave was granted or applied before JAN 2018. They can have entered after 180 days and still apply for ILR with visa issue date.
(Ur dependants)
Children are not subject to absence limits.
Did ur dependants apply for a visa after Jan 2018

Read pertinent guidance and peruse forum forum for documents list.

PBS dependants have NO absence limit if visa was issued before 11 Jan 2018. When did they apply for extension ?

I have entered to UK on 25/Apr/2015 though my visa starts from 11/Feb/2015

Relax, try to comprehend and get ur facts straight.

1. As a PBS visa holder your DATE of VISA ISSUE can be considered legally for calculating continuous residence for ILR.

2. Date of entry is irrelevant in ur case as you entered UK within 180 days of visa issue.

You state ur initial visa was valid from 02 FEB 2015
and later state 11 FEB 2015. What is it?

Visa issue date minus 28 days= ILR date online application submission.

Ur dependants can apply with you at the same time.
Just make sure that after 01 MAR 18 your spouse did not take any absences exceeding 180 days.
