What happens to me after partner receives ILR?

I am currently on a PBS dependent visa. I do not myself yet qualify for ILR (have not spent 5 years in the UK). My spouse is currently on a Tier 1 visa and is now eligible to apply for ILR under 5-year route. The question is what should I do?
How can I extend my stay? What application I must submit. I have looked at extending PBS dependent status, but it only says you can apply as a partner of someone on the following visas.... and it gives a list. But ILR is not on the list. Or it means the main applicant visa before ILR?
Or should I apply to transfer to a spouse of ILR holder visa once my spouse is granted ILR?

Thank you

You apply on the same route you're already on, PBS dependant.

Thank you! So I just submit the PBS Dependant extension application correct? Would I do it after the partner's application is approved? or both need to go in at the same time?

That is correct - you use the PBS dependant extension.

You need to do it before your current visa expires. It is not linked to your partner's ILR application
