What is it with people like you, if you're going to give advice on here there's just one rule - GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!

The answer to this question is no, the guidance notes clearly state who can be included as a dependant. Anyone not already holding a dependant visa cannot switch within the UK. In this case the wife will need to leave the UK and obtain entry clearance as a dependant.

Advising without basis. If you can't guide ... at least don't misguide.

To the OP, while your wife can switch to Tier 1 in her own right from within UK (if she wants). But, as already noted by WoodieG, she will have to return to her home country to make an EC application as a dependent (once your Tier 1 is approved).

regards
