Extension of Leave to Remain as dependent of ILR partner

[amitpatel1185]

I would like to get some advice on application of extension as ILR partner.
I am currently having Tier 1 General visa and eligible for ILR in April 2015. My wife is also Tier 1 dependent visa who is not eligible for ILR along with me. She need to complete 5 years as per new rules in 2012.
I would like to know which application can i make for her to leave to remain once i get my ILR?
I was been told to apply for FLR (M) but in the applicaiton form says:
You must not use this form to make an application for an extension of stay in the following categories:
• As the partner of a person granted indefinite leave to remain in a work route, if you are currently in the UK as their dependant. See our website for further details: https://www.gov.uk/visas-immigration

Please advice which form do i need to use for her application?

Thank you very much

Your wife can continue using PBS dependent route until she qualifies, provided you secure ILR through PBS.

Thank you very much Obie. PBS means Tier 1 General dependent extension?
can't see apply under FLR ??

If she applies to switch to FLR(M), it will resent her clock for ILR and she will be on a new 5 year route to settlement, which includes an extension after 2.5 years of the initial visa and meeting all the requirements of English A1 and the financial requirement at each stage.

If you obtain ILR through 5 years Tier 1 (PBS), then it will be quicker for her to stay on Tier 1 dependent, depending on how long she has already been in the UK.

She would not be able to use the time on Tier 1 dependent towards her 5 years if she switches to FLR(M)

Thank you very much for your information.
She has been on Tier 1 dependent for almost 2 years so it will be another 3 years to go. I will apply Tier 1 dependent for her.

Could anybody help on my case for ILR application by my wife.
I have been on Tier 1 General visa from 16 April 2010 and eligible for ILR in April 2015 (3+2). My wife also got Tier 1 Dependent on 16 April 2010 along with my application. but she went to india in March 2013 and got her second 2 years extension in May 2013. So she has got 40 days gap between extension.
I have contacted several Solicitors and they all says that she need to stay for 5 years from May 2013 as per new rules introduce in july 2012. They said UKBA wont consider her first 3 years of Tier 1 dependent as those visa expired in 16 April 2013 and new visa were issued in May 2013.
Today I called UKBA and they said she can apply for ILR along with me in April 2015. They said july 2012 rules wont apply to her as she came to this country before that.
UKBA wont provide any proof of call or written information which We can keep for supporting purpose.
Could anybody suggest me on my case weather she can apply for ILR or not?
