Then I suggest that you read "carefully".
And, please explain what you mean by "Tier 1 (G) ILR dependant"

" Time spent outside the UK
The Immigration Rules do not say that you must have been in the UK for the entire 2 years of your visa or permission to remain.
Your application to settle here will be judged on its merits, taking into account your reasons for travel, the length of your absences, and whether you and your partner travelled and lived together while you were outside the UK. If you have spent a limited time abroad in connection with your job, for example, this should not count against you. "

Cheers mate. You give me hope that my wife can apply ILR with me. She delayed her initial visit by 2 months so as per UKBA:
If you delayed your entry to the UK
If you were given a visa in this category but you then delayed your travel to the UK by up to 3 months, you can apply for settlement using application form SET(M) shortly before your visa expires. Provided you meet all the other requirements, we will put your application on hold until you have completed your 2-year qualifying period in the UK.
I will raise this question in another thread.

And the link provided refers to delayed entry in to UK by a spouse / partner of a settled person / British citizen. A fact that neither of you noticed!

You'll have ILR before your wife but your wife is yet to enter UK with entry clearance as a spouse of settled person!!
This section is for the husband, wife or civil partner of a British citizen or a person who is settled here who had applied on or before 8 July 2012 for a visa to come to the UK.
If you had not applied for a visa under this category by that date, please see the main Partners section for the different rules that apply to you.
