Hi Araj,
You should be fine if these rules does not change retrospectively. Only include your wife's leave of absence dates on the application forms & write a cover letter explaining why she was out of the UK to have your baby. The current requirement is that she must have lived with you for 2 years in the UK as your dependent prior to your ILR qualification.
In addition your daughter is under-age. You don't need to prove that she was born here or not. But adviseable to include her birth-certificate in all of your future applications as a proof for place of birth.But she will require an entry clearance visa into the UK. You can then include her on your ILR or other future application as a dependent provided you meet the ILR rules in place at the time of applying & can prove you have sufficient funds to support yourself & them in the UK as a self-employed, full-time employee or combination of both if the rules doesn't change by then.
I hope this helps.
All the best with your future applications.
Regards,
1971.

My current visa also going to expire in 2013 Jan and as i am eligible for ILR in 2013 APril, I am applying for an extension in August 2012.
Is it ok if i apply for my daughter ILR from india once i got the ILR ?
