Question about qualifying period of ILR for my spouse

Hi

I have a question regarding qualifying period of my wife's ILR.

I obtained my ILR in August 2010, my wife then becomes my dependent in September 2010. She should be completed her 2-year qualifying period in this September.

However, I obtained my British citizenship early this year. My question is that, will my change from ILR to British citizenship reset her qualifying period to 2 years? Is she still eligible to apply for ILR in this September?

Many thanks.

You becoming British doesn't change anything with respect to your wifes probationary period.
