Settlement criteria for dependents of Long residency
I obtained entry clearance UK visa on 15/02/2010 as a dependent of post study work visa holder (partner-Husband) and living continuously in the UK since (15/02/2010)

On August 2010 My partner switched to Tier 1 General and my (PSW dependent visa) status was changed to dependent of Tier 1 general until 03/04/2014

On 10/03/2014 My partner got Indefinite leave to Remain on Long Term Residency basis (10 years)

On 03/04/2014, my visa (Dependent of Tier 1 General) was changed to spouse visa (2 years) dependent of a person who is now settled (ILR) and present in the UK

Since i have already spent more than 2 years as a dependent (Dependent of Tier 1 General) , therefore my kind questions are as below

1. Can i apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK , any time or i have to wait for 2 years?
2. If yes ! do i need to show any maintenance funds?

Instant response will be much appreciated along with references
