Thank you all for the replies, I already had an ILR when I applied for my daughter to settle here in te UK w/ me and my husband (her stepdad). She was initially refused a visa in the Philippines, we made an appeal and she was granted 'visa to join parent', as soon as they issued that visa i immediately called the UK Embassy in the Philippines as to why there is an expiry and they said they were unable to issue a visa without expiry date. My daughter arrived here when she was 16 and she is now 18 years old. I have called the Home office here in UK and they told me that my daughter has to apply for ILR using the set f, it will mean nearly 2 grand for that
