2. If i go for ILR LR then what are the options for my wife
3. if i go for ILR Tier 1 Entr then what would be happened to my wife as she will complete 5 years in July 2019.

4. if agian I go for ILR Tier 1 entreprenuer then what would be happened to my kid visa as he has PBS dpendent child visa till Feb 2019.

1. What do mean "economical option"? They cost the same. Long residence you can apply on person, tier 1 ent you can't.

2. She will have to switch to FLR(M) which will reset her 5 year residence clock to zero, 2 x 2.5 year visas, before she can apply for ILR based O. 5 years.

3. If you apply for ILR based on tier 1 ent, she can apply for ILR in July 2019.

4. Extend it as PBS dependent.

thanks for your help

Hi CROO1
my second post been locked but one of my query was neither asked nor replied here, therefore if you don't mind please answer this question:

When I go for ILR on 10 years route , would it affect my baby and wife visa as well. Can they stay on PBS dependent till end of their visa?


Many Thanks

No they cannot if you apply for ILR based on long residence. They must switch to flr m before their current visas expire and meet the requirements for flr m, inlcuimsing English and income. Their clock towards ILR based on 5 years residence will reset to zero. This was already answered.

This applies to spouse and non UK born dependents.
