ILS through PBS - dependent visa for wife from india

The request was partially successful.

Dear Home Office,

I am writing with regard to the dependant visa application for my
wife who has applied in UK Visas and Immigration Office, Mumbai -
India. We applied under PBS Tier 1 General - Dependant category) as
currently I am in UK holding an Indefinite Leave to Remain through
Tier 1 General process (received through same day service) and my
last held leave before that was Tier 1 General Visa. The PBS Tier 1
dependant guidance suggests that my spouse needs to apply under the
category (PBS Tier 1 General dependant) as I held Tier 1 general
visa and received my ILR based on my Tier 1 General application.
The Mumbai Visa office is asking us to apply using some other
category and I am not sure as the PBS guidelines from Home Office
states otherwise. The guidelines states that even on receiving my
ILR if my last application was under points based system, my spouse
should apply under PBS dependant category. Could you please take it
as a matter of urgency and confirm if it is correct so that I can
forward the email to the Mumbai Visa and Immigration Office as they
have asked us to get a letter from the Home Office as a
confirmation.

Yours faithfully,
VK
