(Just give you briefly Age of my children My son is 14, and daughter is 12) and we ware only 28 Days away from UK during this all period as our family Holidays.

You all can apply British Citizenship together as joint application and save fee. Good luck

Thanks skymoon for your quick response but still I confuse to read Guide AN for the Naturalisation Booklet says ''Enter the day you first arrived with a view to staying in the UK, If this is less than 5 years before the date on which we receive the application you might not meet the residence requirement and your application may be unsuccessful.'' can you see above date about my wife and son eligible for their application? please let me know. Thanks again

Your wife and son entry date is 28 August 2007 and 5 years will be completed by 28 August 2012, they have Indefinite Leave to remain so they can apply with you.

I don't think you can apply for your family now. You can apply in Aug though. Or it'll have to be after you getting citizenship and they apply as wife of a British citizen.
I would double check it if I were you

That's not correct. They all can apply together on 1 Mar 2013 assuming all were present in the UK at the beginning of 5 year residential qualifying period on 2 Mar 2008.

Thanks ban.s and Gopaalan for look into my case my confusion is If there is requirement for 5 years residency+1 year ILR than my wife and elder son not eligible but my shelf and under 13 year old daughter can be allow for Naturalisation from 1 March/after and my spouse(Wife & son) can apply 29 August 13/after as I'm guess and I'm going to apply through NCS will they let us know about or not? (Just for your knowledge during our stay in the UK just 28 days was family holiday in 2009)

Much appreciate if you can spare little time for me to give answer-thanks again

If you see in the UKBA website,
The residential qualifying period is calculated from the day when we receive your application. Most unsuccessful applications fail because the applicant was not present in the UK at the beginning of the residential qualifying period. You must make sure you meet this requirement before you make your application. For example, if we receive your application on 25 March 2010, you must show that you were in the UK on 26 March 2005.

If you have spent time in the UK while you were exempt from immigration control, you cannot include this time as part of the residential qualifying period - If this red line words mean for my wife and son not fulfill their qualifying period? for their application for the Naturalisation on 1/3/13

It's NOT 5 years + 1 year ILR but 5 years including the last 12 months on ILR.

Also you don't need to worry about the red line as you mentioned above. It's not applicable to you. with an ILR, you are not exempt from immigration control, just your immigration status has no expiry date.

Exemption from immigration mainly relate to diplomats, UN officials etc.
