Can My spouse make a pending application?

[Benbenben]

Hi all,

Thanks for the good work, it is greatly appreciated,

Background:
I have a pending ILR application (SET (O)) which is yet to be granted. My current visa is a Tier 4 DES visa and my wife is on a Tier 4 DES dependent visa. Both our current visas expire in a few weeks.

Query:
1) As my ILR is in progress, Can my spouse apply using FLR(M) and have that application pending an outcome from my ILR application?. I have heard about this but I don;t know if it is legal, if it is acceptable.

2)If Yes, are there any grounds for refusal based for my wife's early application before my application was sorted out?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
