When can my dependants apply for ILR

Hi all,

I applied for ILR set (O) via Tier 1 entrepreneur in August 2019 and hoping to get approval in January or February 20202.

My kids have all been my dependants from feb 2014 when I got my initial leave to remain as T1E, however my spouse became my dependant in May 2015.

Seeing attached post :indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-for-depe ... 79174.html

I am confused as to when I can apply for ILR for my kids. Their current leave to remain expires in February 2020.

Questions:

1. Can I apply for their ILR when my gets approved?
2. If I am not able to apply for them, then what visa application can I make for them when their current leave expires.
3. When does my spouse qualify to apply for ILR?

Thanks so much in anticipation :D

1. Can I apply for their ILR when my gets approved?
No, they will qualify to apply for ILR when your spouse does.
2. If I am not able to apply for them, then what visa application can I make for them when their current leave expires.
Tier 1 Dependent extension.
3. When does my spouse qualify to apply for ILR?

No sooner than within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of the initial Tier 1 Dependent visa issue date. What was her visa category before becoming a tier 1 dependent?

Thanks CR001 for responding.

My spouse was 1st my dependant when I had PSW visa, then switched to Tier 4 visa while I went for T1E and then became a dependant again in 2015.

Thanks :D

Thats a shame, as had she remained a PSW dependent, she could have applied.

Does she have almost 10 years residence for ILR LR or not?
