Sorry I think I gave you the wrong link. Here is the link for 10yr LR route dependants

it appears that PBS dependants where PBS migrant has received settlement under long residence will continue to need to switch to FLR(M) in order to apply for settlement as and when they become eligible. Such dependants should apply for FLR(M) before they travel outside the CTA or before their current leave expires (whichever occurs first).

Regarding your wife, since she's completed her 2 yrs threshold in December but because you've applied for ILR under long residence, she got to switch to FLR(M) as soon as you get your ILR and she can make a SET(M) soon after switching to FLR(M).

Hope that answers your query.

Hi .thank you again for your reply.only you are helping me to get rid of confusion.so far with the discussion with i can understood that as i m aplying ilr on the basis of 10 yrs, i have to wait untill i receive my pr.once i get the pr i have to tranfer my wife's visa Flr-m.As soon as she receives her Flr-m, i can transfer her visa to Set(m). All these cases she is subject to old rule annd so i don't have worry about any salary theshold.

Yes, you got it right. Regarding lawyers I cannot comment on them. Coz I know some one who's lawyer charged £200 to request SAR from the Home Office which can be requested for a tenner.

Your Mrs falls under old rules but you still got to show your accommodation and maintenance .
