The children can apply at the point when both parents are settling/settled.

Hi Amber. Got the FLR M yesterday for everyone yesterday at Sheffield. However they said I could have applied for kids ILR using SET F as they entered Uk prior toJuly 12. Any thoughts ?

When both parents are settled/applying to settle, SET(F) is fine. Which is what I wrote below.

Thank you. Does that mean I can apply for kids ILR while mrs on FLRM. ( it may take her couple of months to pass Life in the Uk) hence I want to apply kids ILR . Also can I register them as British as soon as they get the ILR. Thank you Amber

I would say ILR when your wife is/is applying to settle. Where were the children born?
