My wife has been on a dependent visa for almost 7 years. If I apply for ILR long residence can my wife apply directly for ILR if I get my ILR or she have to apply for FLR (M) first then the ILR.

Wrong info.

Long residence based application does not allow dependants on same application.

What is your current immigration status and what is your wife's?

Currently I am a student and will be able to apply for 10 years long residence early March. My wife is having a dependent visa but she is working with NHS.

I came to UK as a visitor 28 March 2003, return home with a vaild visa on 03 July 2003. Came back to the UK with a vaild visa as a student on 19 Sept. 2003. Since, I have renewed my visa as a student, SGS and student. My wife joined me in the UK in August 2005.
