We are planning to submit an ILR application for all of us by end of this month.
Can you please help me with the below ILR questionaries?

Q1: Can you please suggest the start date when we can submit the online ILR application including my dependents all together?
- Is it the first entry date(Main: 11-June-2016 & Dependent: 22-June-2016) or the First BRP issue date (Main:02-June-2016, Dependent:22-June-2016) that we need to consider when calculating the less than 28 days rule?
I believe the first BRP date i.e. 22-June-2016 so our earliest ILR application date is on 24/05/2021. Am I right?
Q2: When did you first enter the UK?
For the main applicant:
- Is it the first stamp date in Passport on Tier 2 Visa ( First 3 yrs)?
- Is it the Issue date of the BRP card on a Tier 2 Visa (First 3 yrs)?
- Is it the first stamp date in the Passport /BRP Issue date of the previous Visa ( Tier 2 ICT dependent)?
For Dependent:
- Is it the Issue date of the BRP card on a Tier 2 Visa (First 3 yrs)? (As my dependent switched to Tier 2 General dependent visa in the UK - No stamping on passport)
For Child Dependent:
- Is it a birth date or a BRP Issue date?
The below Q3 & Q4 questions were asked only for dependent but not for the main applicant.
Q3: Does the period of stay on which this application was based include any leave granted since 11 January 2018?
- Based on the above scenario should we selected Yes or NO?
Q4: Have you had any absences from the UK during any leave granted since 11 January 2018?
- Should my dependent need to mention absences from the UK since 11-Jan-2018?
- Should I select this option as Yes?
Q5: Cohabiation Documents
- Is it valid to submit online Bank statements ( individual bank statements for the last 2 years as it has the current house address)
- Council tax documents ( for last 2 years)
- Are there any other documents we need to provide?
Q6: Is my child eligible for ILR ( as he is not on a dependent visa for 5 years)?
Q7: Do we need to prove sufficient funds in bank accounts for maintenance as we submitted for previous Tier 2 and extension?
