l came to the uk in 2000 applyed for ILR on medical grounds in 2002 never got a reply from the home office.
l've got two children living with me one came to the UK aged 10, now 17 in full time education and the other one was born here nearly 4yrs of age now.

I am sure others will reply but your case is very strong because the Home Office runs a regularisation programme for families with small children who have been living in this country for 7 years even if you didnt qualify under legacy. So you have a good chance, in my view. Think others will agree.

I take it yours was a non-asylum case? I have been asking on this board whether legacy includes non-asylum cases and if yours is non-asylum then I guess legacy does include them.

As I understand it, the seven-year concession only applies to children who are under 18 at the time that a decision on the application under the concession is made, often a couple of years after the application. So unfortunately it may be the case that an application made on this basis will fail as by the time they decide it your eldest will be over 18 - although by then the younger one may be nearing seven years, so you could apply again for her.
