I'm assuming you have shared parental responsibility.

You can marry in the UK, but you will only be able to give notice to marry with a Home Office designated Registry Office. The Registrar is legally required to notify the HO who can then extend the notification period from 28 to 70 days if they choose to do so, before permission is given for the marriage to take place. However, in the circumstances you've described there's unlikely to be any delay in approval.

Your wife will have to switch to a FLR(M) visa which will set her on a new 5 year path (2.5 x 2.5 years) to permanent settlement (ILR).

In addition to the £811 visa fee (postal) or £1311 (premium in-person) your wife will have to pay the £500 NHS surcharge.

Are you earning a minimum of £18,600 p.a?
