pleaseeeee if anyone can provide me some information i would be more than greatful.
thanks

3 individual applications. Without knowing the full circs of your current leave i guess at 2 possible outcomes.

1 mother is refused ILR (not sure what her current status is or her eligibility) you and brother also refused. Family unit can be removed.

2 mother is granted ILR (if she meets rules etc, again not sure of her status) here as "independent adults" over 18 yo you could potentially get 3 years DL on the grounds of family ties. However im certain you will not be eligible for ILR at this stage

The issue of the baby however could also strengthen your case. Father is BC/settled? does he have access/contact? if your baby has ties to the UK ion terms of contact with a father who is BC/settled then its the childs Article 8 rights which (as a dependent on YOUR application) would invoke the old Beoku Betts caselaw thus further strengthening your case for DL.


I do not however on the basis of the info in your original post, think you are eligible for ILR at the mo.

Suggest that you consult a professional. Good luck!

Incidentally, non-British babies, born in the UK, do not need to apply for leave to remain.

if they cant confirm that they have a BC status through the father then they will need to legalise their residence also. If the father is named on the full BC and he is BC/settled then child may be eligible for BC but if this cant be proved, best to include as dependent.
