My son (just turned 18 ) is going to apply for his ILR as my dependent. I should apply for my ILR first so his application fee could be saved if my application fail, am I right?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Is there any particular reason for your ILR application to fail? And have all those 18-64 years of age, including your son, passed the Citizenship Test?

Thanks John.
No particular reasons. Just a little bit worried.
Yes we all passed the Citizenship Test.

Given that your son is getting his ILR on the back of your application, albeit he needs to have a separate application form, his application really should be submitted at the same time as yours .... and indeed with a letter explaining the circumstances .... he is still your dependant ... still in full-time education .... etc.etc..
What age will your son be when the application is made?

Make it clear that he is still your dependant! If you do that your should not encounter a problem.
How are you making the applications? By post? Or in person at a PEO?

Who is going to go to the PEO? I certainly think it would be helpful if your son is present ..... just in case .... probably not necessary .... but best.
Do take evidence showing that he is still a dependant.

So they will be 20 when you apply for ILR in June 2008? Is this both kids - how many kids are at university now?

well, actually I thought ILR holders had the right to change their fee status once they become UK citizens. But the OP's case makes me a little weary. If you're half way through your course, you're entitled to home fee at the begining of a new year after becoming ILR holders? That isn't too bad as long as we're allowed to make such change.

The way I've read this (and i could be wrong) is that international fees will apply for the duration of the course if u didn't have three years settlement in UK at day one.
