gives you an idea of what you need to apply for ILR in just under 2 yrs, (6 bits of evidence with both your names on, life in uk test)
but there is a bill going thru parliament the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill ., and changes in the bill could effect your wife, so keep an eye on the UKBA website or on this forum about any changes
But just bear in mind stuart that previously the amount of documents was higher so i would advice just in case make sure you have more than enough evidence just in case.
With regards waiting at Heathrow thats hard to say depends on so many factors such as amount of non eu passport holders entring, the flights in etc, and of course staffing.
I went though with my Wife. What airline is she coming with? no chance if she saying coming back klm of getting the same flight back as her from schipol?
Also very important to get her proof of address, ie get her name on the water bill, gas bill, elec bill although bt will only allow in one name.
This proof of address will be needed for obtaining national insurance number, bank account and possibly other reasons.
Best to be cautious you can by reseraching on here and asking questions save your self a lot of time and hassle later on.
May all three of them have a pleaseant journey.
Oh been to the Finnish Embassy on several occasions on business not to get a visa though. I have to say the people there were very very friendly and pleasure to deal with
