Can I apply for ILR just to be able to complete my children's schooling?

Unfortunately not. There is no route to ILR for you and your children as Skilled Worker Dependent visa holders. You also have not been in the UK for very long either so UKVI will view the fact that you can easily return to your home country.

If you want to stay and work in the UK, you would have to find another visa you qualify for.

Don't wait till you get the letter. Start planning ahead. It could almost be too late by then. The tone of the letter in itself, can give you worries if you don't already have something cooking.

The general rule is that if the principal Tier 2 visa applicant dies, dependent family members retain their right to remain in the UK until their own visa expires or until the principal applicant's visa expires, whichever comes first. However, the situation may vary depending on your status and other factors, so it is recommended that you seek specialist advice. Regarding your work permit, it is important to get accurate information from your home office or immigration attorney. They will be able to assess your situation and explain how to continue working and earning a salary in the UK. Remember that the information provided here is not legal advice, and it is best to seek help from immigration law professionals for specific guidance appropriate to your situation.

The Tier 2 route does not even exist now. The skilled worker dependants do not have any retained right of residence or such in the UK. They are here as dependents of the main applicant and are expected to leave if there is no reason for them to be here. Also, lawyers do not have some form of magical knowledge or ability to change immigration rules. The forum is riddled with posts from applicants getting terrible advice from lawyers and so-called immigration advisors. If any advice is valid, it should be based on the immigration rules in place or the case law
