Hi,
I am on Tier1 and going to submit my ILR application in November 2013, my wife got the visa in November 2012 to November 2013, She came to UK in Jan 2013 .
now next month I have to submit my ILR application.
My question is, in which category shall I apply for my wife visa? PBS dependent or FLR (M).
2nd thing, can I booking a PEO appointment for my wife as a dependent with the main applicant?
I have been told, I would have to book an appointment separately for my wife after my ILR granted.

Please help me please

Assuming that you are not applying for ILR under Long residence:

It's probably best for her to continue and extend as a PBS dependant, until she qualifies for ILR under 319E.

Moreover, if she was your dependant prior to 9 July 2012, then (she is also subject to the transitional provisions and) her qualifying period for ILR is 2 years. Else, it's 5 years.
