Why didn't you apply for your son when your spouse applied? That would have been the simplest way to do it.

My son was a war during application. Cost wise there is no dfference since he is 18+ he will pay normal fee..
Also I will use most of the documents for my son. Is it adisadvantage?

What??

The fee for ILR is the same for everyone, regardless of age. If he was under 18, it would still be the same fee as an adult.
Also I will use most of the documents for my son. Is it adisadvantage?
It would have been simpler to add him to your spouse's Set(M) form as a dependent. There was no need to apply for him separately.

Then SET(M) cannot be used. SET(F) is only for those below 18 years. I believe the only appropriate form is SET(O), as it covers other purposes not covered by other application forms

Meantime I've just marked the option:
Adult Dependent Relative (family route)
I got the following:
You must only select this option if you have, or were last granted, permission as an adult dependent
relative, on the basis that you require long term personal care to perform everyday tasks due to age,
illness or disability. For further information, please read the guidance: Indefinite leave to remain if you
have family in the UK: Apply as an adult dependent relative (family visa) - GOV.UK (
www.gov.uk)
I am going crazy. Thanks

Only children born in the UK are entitled to do that !
Note that UKVI helpline is manned by third-party advisors who are known to provide inaccurate or incorrect advice !!!

No. There is no such entitlement to citizenship.
Children born outside the UK to non-British parents have NO entitlement to citizenship whatsoever, even if parents settle later in the UK.
Such a child
must have ILR, at least one parent must be British and the other parent must at least be settled in the UK and then such a child could be registered as British via
discretion. Adults (18+) can only naturalise after 12 months of holding ILR

Can he apply citizenship?
No he cannot. He needs ilr first and hold ilr for 12 months before he can apply for citizenship as he is over 18.

Hi Zimba:
I was given worn information on the help line of GOV 0300 790 6268.
I asked her whichILR form to use SET(m), SET (O)or SET(F) for 18+ son, spend last 5 years under famiy 5 years route. ALso told her that in any of the forms not sutible option for him. She said of no options because your son can apply citizenship straight away. Ridiculous...
Earlier on you told me to use set(o) even thougt it does not have suitable category option for use
and ask me to use the following option:
''Other purposes or reasons not covered by other application forms''
I will go with this am I right?
Thnaks

All you need to know is provided above !
He must apply for ILR first. Then he can apply to naturalise just like any adult 12 months after his ILR.
Again, the helpline will NOT provide accurate advice, as I explained
