family settlement or family visitor and 320 7b

[BYC]

Hello great guys,
I need an advice on which application is best for my husband. He has been refused 5 years ago under para 320 7B from abroad, then I was under tier 1 general, we also lost the appeal.
Now i have ILR and our children have got British passport recently, I'm just wondering if we apply for him apply as a family visitor or settlement, at the moment I will have to work 8 to 12 months to meet the income threshold, I thought the visit visa is quicker in the meantime. Can someone advice which way for us to overcome the 320 7b. Thanks

320(7B) is no longer applicable for a spouse visa, but be careful of 320(11).

Many thanks Vinny, I have followed the links you sent, I found that 320 11 is a discretionary, do we stand a good chance if the eco considers the best interests of children?

Yes. Highlight the fact that you have children and they are missing their father very much.
