ILR success rate

[Ancientgear]

Hi everyone apologies in advance if what I am asking has been asked before, I am new to this forum.
I have a few questions about applying for ILR in UK, ill put down my immigration detail first.

I arrived in UK on September 2006. I arrived with my family as a dependant on my father. My father arrived in UK on a 5 year work permit visa on January 2006. We stayed in UK regularly until the end of the work permit visa and then in 2011 we applied for an extension to our visa. There were some complication during the application to do with the home office misplacing some of our papers and such, we were denied extension and then appealed. It went back and forth between the home office and us for a while and then we were given a 3 year leave to remain in UK on November 2012. (I have been told that our stay in UK is considered legal as long as a definite decision on our application has not been made.) When this 3 year leave to remain came to an end we applied for another extension and was given another 3 year leave to remain in UK on January 2016. On September 2016 I will have been in UK for 10 years, during this time I have only left the UK twice, for 1 month on August 2014 and 1 month on July 2016.

Now I have 2 questions.
1) If I was to apply for ILR under long residency once my 10 years are complete this September what are the chances of my application being successful?
2) Originally I came as a dependant on my father. But now I am over 18, my whole family has a 3 year leave to remain. Am I allowed to apply for ILR on my own or does my father need to have ILR as well for me to have it?

Its not really possible for anyone to answer your question with the vague information you have provided. The answers to your questions heavily depend upon what happened between when the application was denied and later when you were allowed leave to remain. Was that appeal successful ? if not, did you make a fresh application ? if yes, what's the gap in terms of time between the appeal dismissed and fresh application ?

Please provide complete details of the timelines and somebody may be able to provide a better answer.

The essence of what happened was that my father quit working for the company in August 2007 that got him into UK with the work permit. The home office was made aware of this, but by then my father had started his company and took employment as the director of said company. And on top of that the company my father originally came to work for was dissolved in 2009, but my father was not aware of this. So when he applied for an extension at the end of the 5 year work permit he still made it look as if he was still working for that original company. The home office denied the extension based on the fact that my father used inaccurate information on his application and did not seek employment with the company that he originally came to work for. But when we appealed we were given a 3 year discretionary leave based on the fact that me and my brother were too young when we came into UK and had become too integrated into UK life and spent all most all of our formative age in UK by the end of the work permit, my mother had also started a business by this time in UK.
