Is this her 1st time here to the UK?

Could you please tell me more about what happen once your wife got her visa, what I mean is this....
What does this all mean about the 28 days and a time limit for your wife to come to the UK and letting the visa officials know the date of her departure, which is already booked and that the ticket is paid for even before if and when you will know if she will or when she get visa or not?
This part I cannot get my head around

Hi LG,
Do not book any travel ticket where the departure cannot be changed until she has the visa. There is no way at all to know when she will be able to travel.

When she fills out the form she will state a date for her preferred date of travel.
This cannot be more than 3 months advance of the date of application.
If the visa is granted before her stated date of travel then she will need to wait until the visa is valid before she can secure the CFO sticker and before she can enter UK
If the visa is granted after her stated date of travel then the visa will be valid from the date the decision to grant was made.

The travel visa will have a 30 day window to prepare for the relocation and to enter the UK.
If she does not travel within that window she will need to get a new entry visa.

Once she arrives to the UK she'll have 10 days to pick up her Biometric Card from the post office.
She needs to do this.
