Highly unlikely since an attempt to settle has been made.

No becuase with a settled partner in the UK, there will be little reason to return.

Thanks Cro001, do they not consider that it may take 1 and half year to get visa for family(as some members are waiting ) SO meanwhile my family can visit me?

As stated above, highly unlikely
my colleague on ILR had his wife's visit visa refused several times until he gave up and waited till he met the requirements
Any suggestions I make in the forum are out my personal experience and should not be taken as a legal/professional advise.
