Help with filling flr(fp) form please

[greatreasons]

Hello everyone,

I'm new here and need advice regarding my FLR(FP) application and would be grateful for any help. I'll ask my question then follow up with my back story.

I believe I meet the criteria for indefinite leave based Private life in the UK based on having strong ties in the UK as well as Family life as a parent (5 or 10 year route) and I'm uncertain which category I should tick. Is it possible to tick both.

For indefinite leave to remain this will be long and expensive I believe, however I could have a strong enough case.

Basically I came here as a child age 16, my mum is now a british citizen, I've been year for almost 13 years, closer to 14 really and I do not have a family to go home to. I do not have a relationship with my dad, nor my siblings but they are mostly children anyway, he never took responsibility of me. I'm from the Caribbean - Tobago.

I have a young baby who is british but the dad and I do not have any relationship. It is complicated and there is NO chance of us having a relationship. Sadly he wants nothing to do with my baby, I'm guess I should be happy he registered her and applied for her passport.

So is it possible to tick more than one category for FLR(FP)? If which is my best option?

Thanks all

If you have valid leave the tick the 5 year parent route.

Thanks Amber.

I do not have valid leave to remain.

Then tick the 10 year route.
