In cases of family migration, if an applicant applies for leave to remain under Appendix FM and his application fails because his partner/sponsor was not settled in the UK, but this same partner is granted indefinite leave to remain afterwards due to long residence, can the applicant (on appeal) still have the chance to be granted indefinite leave to remain or is it a perhaps a better option to appeal outside the immigration rules under article 8?
JA: Just to clarify, which visa specifically is he asking about?
Customer: No visa
JA: Has he already talked to a lawyer about the visa?
Customer: He was in the UK on a work permit
JA: Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.
Customer: The applicant and partner have a disabled child

Apply under article 8. They will not succeed appealing based on the indefinite leave to remain point because the appeal is based on the facts as presented at the time of the original application and at the time the spouse did not have ILR. I trust this assists
