Spouse ILR and when to apply

Hello all ,
Greetings
I currently have ILR (settled status)
My wife’s tier 2 dependent visa expires on 5th of April 2026.

She becomes eligible for ILR on 21st June 2026 by completing 5 years.

What are my options here .
1 . Do I need to extend the current visa for 3 months and then apply for ILR ?
2. Is there any option to directly go to ILR without renewal ?

I have considered arrival date to count the qualifying period and not the vignette date as its dependent visa.

Kindly please advise?
Thanks in advance .

What is the vignette date of your wife's initial grant of visa?
