... With respect, if I might correct you *here ... Mick's wife's visa was, I believe, approved towards the end of last August, and she came to the UK on September 29, 2009. Which means its 27 months' validity won't be due to expire until November 2011. Therefore, since she cannot apply for permanent residence [ILR] before August NEXT year, I don't think the motive that you suggest for her returning is likely to have any bearing on the situation as it stands.
