Apply both for ILR under Tier 2 in March 2020. Long residence will reset your ILR clock

Its means I can't apply as dependent for ilr if my wife apply next month on 10 yrs route and if she is doing application on 10 yrs route then my current so PBS dependent will be valid or do I need to apply dependent visa again once she get the ILR and If how long do I need to wait for my Ilr application.

PLEASE ADVICE.

Long residence ILR has no concept of a 'dependent'. Under long residence, she applies on her own and must qualify on her own.
If she applies under long residence, you must switch to 5 year family route FLR(M) as you cannot stay under PBS visa anymore. Such a switch means you need to start your 5 year ILR clock under FLR(M) route again or qualify under long residence on your own
