Hi
I have been in UK from 2017 initially on T2 ICT and now on Skilled worker visa and for 9 months in 2016. I have completed 3 years on the Skilled worker visa and 2 more to go to apply for an ILR.
Total as of date I have spent 8 years in UK on various work visas.
My daughter has spent around 7.5 years continuous in UK along with me as a dependent on my visas(ICT + Skilled).She is born in India.

I have two queries
1.Whether she is eligible to apply for a 5 year visa under the 7 year child ILR route?
2. If the answer to point 1 is Yes then can the parents apply for a family visa for 2.5 years under the same rule. Please confirm as the wordings in the UK visa guidelines are not clear.

Best
