Spouse Visa from India under which Category?

Hi, I am applying my ILR in July 2013. I am currently on Tier-1 General Migrant Visa. My marriage will be in August in India as Girl is in India. I want to know under which category my "would be" wife will be applying Visa ?
1) partner of Settled person
or
2) partner of Migrant workder ?

UKBA site is little confusing , when I read a section that follows as :
You cannot apply in a partner category if you
a) are the spouse or partner of a person who is settled in the UK or has British citizenship if their most recent permission to stay was under tiers 1, 2, or 5 of the points-based system; and
b) you do not qualify for settlement yet.

Instead, you must apply as a dependant under the relevant category of points-based system

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... you-apply/

Can somebody please throw some light on it and confirm it please?

What I would think is, after you got your ILR your wife will be able to apply for a spouse visa.

But if you want to apply before that you may need to apply as a dependent and then change the visa.

Simples.
if you get ILR then she should apply as a partner of a settled person (married partner that is)

if not then PBS dependent.

not sure whats so confusing about this.

how do I know ? becuase my wife just got her spouse visa and I was on T1G before ILR

The UKBA webpage was badly worded.
