We did not included our 5-year old boy (currently holding Tier 2 dependent visa) in this ILR application, cause the application fee is so expensive and plan to apply for BC for him. In the application and supporting materials, we did not mention him at all. I was a bit worried when I found someone provided a cover letter to state why their kids did not apply for ILR.
Thanks for everyone in this ILR timelines and UKVCAS Biometrics appointments, especially CULLINAN.
Hope you all will get the approval decisions soon
