No, she will have to spend 5 years as a PBS dep or FLR(M) dep. The latter having a Financial and English requirement and only being applicable once you have ILR.

Thanks Amber,Can I apply PBS dependent or FLR(M) when my ILR application is being processed. Can I link my forms to this. My wife work visa will expire in June, so do not want to risk her stay here w/o a valid visa.

Well a PBS dep application should be made whilst you're a PBS applicant. Yes, for FLR(M) you can ask for a decision to be made after yours.

Hi Amber
Could you please advice:
I have received my ilr on 10 years basis now... My wife has been on dep visa since April 2005 (student dep until April '10 and then psw dep from april'10 till jan'11 and then tier 1 dep from jan'11 till now). Do you think we should be fine going for set(m) straight away at the PEO for her ILR?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
V

Vinny,
thank you for the information via link, and i have read all of that information - however, could i please clarify it in simple terms: does that i mean we can apply via SET (M) for my wife, considering above immigration history of her?
Thanks
V

No. SET(M) requires prior FLR(M) or settlement spouse visa status.
Under the Immigration rules, she may initially make a
FLR(M) application and
immediately follow with
SET(M).
However, some PBS dependants have been lucky with SET(O) at a PEO.

Hi All;
On 06/04/2014 the drastic changes have been made in immigration rules for pre 9th July, 2012 PBS dependents, if the main applicant gains indefinite leave to remain based on 10 years of long residence.
According to new rules those dependants cannot combine any time spent as PBS dependent with FLR(M) to qualify for ILR and their qualifying time period of 5 years will start from the day they are granted an FLR(M).
Under the new rules you have to meet the minimum income threshold of £18600 as well or even more if you have non UK born children.
There are lot of people who are being affected adversely with this change in rules.
We are now about to challenge the rule. Please come forward and join hands together for common cause and join us on Facebook page.

You have posted in a very old thread. I'm moving this to the ILR forum as it doesn't apply to 'Settling In'
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
