See also Got ILR - Should Wife go for FLR (M) or SET (M).

Assuming you are apply for ILR under Tier 1 (General):

Dependants may apply for ILR with/after you between 10-2013 or 12-2013 (up to 28 days prior to completion of dependants' 2 year qualifying period and before expiry of leave).

If your dependants' leave expires prior to when they are eligible for ILR, then they may apply for extensions as PBS dependants.

Your dependants may initially switch to FLR(M) before expiry of leave, under the transitional provisions. Request that they process the application after yours is decided.

English language and rules before 9th July 2012 applicable.
