a) No. The child needs to be a dependent on your wifes' visa and can also only apply for ILR when both parents are applying or one has ILR and the other is applying. Why did you not switch to Tier 2 dependent in 2015 with your children??1. For elder kid -
a) will he be eligible for ILR along with wife's ILR on nov'20...or he needs to be switched to dependent visa.
b) since he is studying here, is he eligible for ilr based on 7 years continuous study & by when.
c) if we apply tier 2 dependent now, what are the set of docs required in our case. Pls help
No, for the same reason above, not being a dependent on your wifes visa and YOU not qualifying for ILR. UK born children do NOT require ILR if you plan on registering them as British.2. Younger son - though he is on tier2 ict dependant but born in uk, will be eligible for ILR along with wife on nov'20
Does this mean that even if elder one apply for tier 2 dependant now, he will be eligible for ILR only when i am also eligible? I didnt apply earlier becuase my current company does not allow resources to work under dependant visa...they are weirda) No. The child needs to be a dependent on your wifes' visa and can also only apply for ILR when both parents are applying or one has ILR and the other is applying.

Since he has indian passport, i understand that he needs to follow same route as elder one??No, for the same reason above, not being a dependent on your wifes visa and YOU not qualifying for ILR. UK born children do NOT require ILR if you plan on registering them as British.
You can't apply for ILR as a ICT visa holder so what route to ILR are you planning??Does this mean that even if elder one apply for tier 2 dependant now, he will be eligible for ILR only when i am also eligible? I didnt apply earlier becuase my current company does not allow resources to work under dependant visa...they are weird
No. Regardless of what passport the child holds, they are entitled to register as British once EITHER parent gets ILR. If you do not wish to apply for citizenship for the child, then ILR is the obvious step.Since he has indian passport, i understand that he needs to follow same route as elder one??

Shall i proceed for tier 2 dependant right now or wait for wifes ILR and then proceed?No. Regardless of what passport the child holds, they are entitled to register as British once EITHER parent gets ILR. If you do not wish to apply for citizenship for the child, then ILR is the obvious step.
When are you planning on switching to tier 2 dependent visa?Apologies...I meant Tier 2 dependant
If you apply for tier 2 dependent visa, both children will also have to apply when you do if they are currently dependent on your ICT visa.Shall i proceed for tier 2 dependant right now or wait for wifes ILR and then proceed?
I was planning to apply for children now and for myself after a year. Is this ok & beneficial?Apologies...I meant Tier 2 dependant

Should be ok. Do you plan on applying for tier 2 dependent visa BEFORE your spouse applies for ILR??I was planning to apply for children now and for myself after a year. Is this ok & beneficial?
If you wait till after your wife gets ILR, you cannot apply for Tier 2 Dependent visas.Shall i proceed for tier 2 dependant right now or wait for wifes ILR and then proceed?

Coming to original question, will kids counter start & they become eligible once they complete 5 yrs or both parents should have ILR. In this case, my wife would have ILR, however i would be still counting 5 yrs on dependant.Should be ok. Do you plan on applying for tier 2 dependent visa BEFORE your spouse applies for ILR??
Why not...this is shocking...if main becomes ilr whats the route for dependants?If you wait till after your wife gets ILR, you cannot apply for Tier 2 Dependent visas.
This means i will need to switch at earliest
There is no 5 years minimum residency for children. However it does not change the fact that PBS child dependents will qualify for ILR when both parents are applying or when one parent has ILR already and the children are applying with the other parent who holds a dependent visa. It would have been sensible to switch all of you when your wife got her Tier 2 General visa in 2015.Yes, i will apply before wifes ILR as i understand from your response to question 2 that if i apply after that then it will become complicated.

If you decide to switch AFTER your wife gets ILR, you and the child born abroad will have to apply for the spouse settlement visa on form FLR(M), meeting the financial requirements and you need to meet the English requirements. Again, depending on whether you wish your UK child to be British or not will depend on whether the child also needs a new visa. FLR(M) will reset the clock for ILR based on 5 years to zero but does not reset it for ILR based on Long Residence,Why not...this is shocking...if main becomes ilr whats the route for dependants?

Note that even if you switched to dependent visa tomorrow, you still will not qualify for ILR when your wife does.
I hope even if we go with FLR route, i am eligible to work...
