Exactly because if claim is backdate 3 months that’s March 2025, at that time, the children were subject to immigration control. This what makes me feel a bit nervous about submitting the claim now tbf.

Hi zimba, I deeply appreciate your response. I feel a bit uncertain as a solicitor mentioned that time spent as a Tier 4 Dependent is not counted toward ILR.
