[kartisar]

hi,

my son is on child family visa born outside uk , he is in uk last 7+ years. he was on tier 2 dependant visa for 4 years then now on child visa . i switched to long residency and applied for their family visa.

i come accross on following link with following line

You can include time you’ve spent on any other visas which lead to indefinite leave to remain. You must have had a visa based on your private life for at least one year on the day you apply.

my question is as his previous visa was leading to ilr can he apply for ilr upon finishing year on current child family visa

is there anyother requirements for child

Such a child needs 5 years under the private life route to qualify. The 7 years refers to the min length of the total time the child has been in the UK, the last 5 years of which must have been under the private life. People under the family route do not benefit at all.

Such a child simply will settle when your spouse settles
