dom he needs to be married and living with her for 4yrs out of the uk, so she can apply for ile, but of course living together 8months is good evidence of a genuine relationship !
I really doubt there would a need to wait 6 months so long as you were working or even just had a written offer of a job (presuming the job was reasonably well paid...) to be pretty certain of getting a visa.

Thought ILE was difficult to apply for out of the country because you needed to have passed the Life in the UK Test?
