I am a resident in the UK with a work permit visa for 5 years (2007-2012).Having completed 5 years, I am now eligible to apply for ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain). However, I have a query whether I could include my wife and child who currently are dependant on my work permit visa. I have the following in order to give you background information:

Can anone help please? I have seen that morethan 65 people have viewed my query and sorry to say not even one has replayed. I had been to this forum with lots of hope. please if you have knowledge regarding my issue please help. I have called home office but could not get a proper answer. Now my only optio would be to spend £200 and book an appointment with a solicitor for initial one hour. I have read the questions and answer posted here and they are really very informative. I have asked many people who have given me conflicting information. so if you know my answer i will request someone to help with my query please. may god bless all. cheers
