The wife has never been required to complete two years of residence and has been eligible to apply for ILR from the day she arrived in the UK (but only on the basis of her passing the KOL exam). If she has not taken the KOL she should do so and apply for ILR.
KOL REQ is a limited leave to enter settlement visa endorsement, but waives the 2 year residence requirement when the KOL has been taken.
The child who is under 18 can apply for ILR jointly with the mother (no KOL necessary)
The children who is over 18 can apply separately for ILR using SET(F) (no KOL necessary).

I understand that SET (F) is not for children who came to the UK as dependants of a spouse visa holder and later turned over 18. In such circumstances the form to be used for settlement is SET(o). If I am wrong please correct me.
