should we switch to 10 year rout

[shahbazali]

50 K Accelerated rout via 10 jobs
applied on 7 Dec 2017.
Received email in Jan 2018 that applicants will be interviewed.
applied for SAR and all points were awarded in SAR and last progress was as "Case has been transferred to interview departmanet" and interview dept mentioned "waiting for Questionair performa from case worker"
till now 16 months passed no interview or decission arrived.
my 10 years have also completed one month ago.
in December 2019 my 5 years on T1 will also complete.
I have 4 dependants as well.

Should I switch my application to 10 year rout or wait for interview or decission.?
if I switch to 10 yrs rout then my dependants will get ILR in Mar 2021 and if I get ILR on same rout then they will get ILR in Dec 2019.
thanks

You need to decide whether you want to switch or not yourself.

If you switch to 10 yr route, then the dependant's have to apply for FLR (M) and have to complete 5 years on that visa before applying for ILR i.e. in 2024.

my dependant's 10 years are completing in march 2021 so they would be able to apply for ILR in Feb 2021.

ok

my decision is based on one factor please advise.

if I vary my application to 10 years rout, "will home office still take my interview or they will decide without interview" what is common practice?

I don't think there is any common practice.

As part of your ILR(LR), HO has to check that your stay on T1E had no violations. So they could interview you. The only thing is genuineness is not a criteria for consideration of ILR(LR). But fraudulent submissions are still a negative.
