Background summary-
I have been in UK since 1998. Applied asylum, got married to my wife in 2002 here in UK (She became my dependent in asylum application).
the application was refused in 2004. Luckily Czech was in EU by then and instead appealing again the refused asylum application we applied for resident permits (RP) as self employed and got 5 years RP in 2004.
now as the duration for permanent residence (PR) has increased from 4 years to 5 year, which make it 2009 for PR and 2010 for Nationality.
my question is
1- Can I exercise the 10 year rule for PR (or Indefinite Leave) which would be 2008? and save one year if possible. Which would be the better option with less complications?
Another question is
2- My wife is expecting our first baby this December
