Does she hold a spouse settlement visa or a PBS Dependent visa?
What is her full UK immigration history including all relevant dates?

What was the initial visa issue date?
You need to give more information, we cannot guess your circumstances.

Don’t worry so much abt the fees.
She’s eligible for ILR end of MAY.
Initial visa issue date minus 28 days.
1. Apply directly for ILR nearer to expiry. Delay biometrics till end of May.
She must be eligible for ILR on the day of decision.
2. Apply for extension and vary application to ILR when she’s within her qualifying period.. variation can only take place if a decision hasn’t been taken on earlier application.. delay biometrics to delay decision.
Application fee/IHS fee should be refunded.

Hi thanks for the 2 options .
Yes you are right If we go for ILR directly , the processing time is about 4 to 6 months , by that time she qualifies for ILR however applying for ILR directly with out fullfilling the Major criteria of 5 years legally staying would it not be a problem ? i m confused with this option . I do not know if they notice 5 years not competed by the data of application 04-04-2020 there is a chance of rejection , though they reject by that time completes her 5 years time based on ILR processing times . If they allow us to make another application with in 28 days then we have to make again ILR application , is that possible making same application again . Second thing if they tell us to go for an appeal , this is another case dealing with more trouble .
The second option is more feasible which is i thought initially , applying for extension ,while this is in progress , making another application for ILR while the decision is pending on first application .
Trouble is i do not know can we apply second application when the first application is in progress . I also checked the processing time for PBS dependent extension is with in 8 weeks . Hopefully by that time we make second application for ILR she qualifies for ILR , by doing biometrics delayed with the first application .
Again i am little confused with this . Are we allowed to make to another application while the first one is in progress ?
Please advise ...

Jeez.. such a long paragraph of a question. Please read what you write before hitting submit!
Before asking such questions do some research and try to understand the advice given.
The link posted earlier should explain the first option
The link below should help you get ur head around the second option

Many thanks for the Advise . We will go for option 2 for a safe side. Hopefully we would be able to vary the initial application with ILR application .

Good luck!
Use the time to read the guidances posted in the links closely and frequent the forum for clarity.
1. Visa applications can be ‘varied’ pretty easily as only one application can be considered at a time.
The timing is of utmost importance here.
A decision must not have been taken on the earlier application.
2. An “in time” application ( submitted before valid visa expiry) extends the terms and conditions of the visa (3C protection) till a decision is taken on the new visa application.
3. The caseworker calculates the continuous period residence in the manner in which it’s beneficial for the applicant. If the applicant is within the qualifying period on date of decision than the visa is approved.
4. A visa application is not valid or considered till biometrics are submitted.
5. Timing of tying everything up is of utmost importance.
