if she has ilr, then nearly 2 yrs, if he stayed more than 2 years it could cause problems, his ilr would expire and he would have to try and apply again, but it would be difficult because he would no longer be a minor.

under present laws, which might change, you can be out of the uk just under 2yrs in one trip, but the UK is suppose to be your home,

but i'll see in April if we have a problem which i doubt
