Feb 2012. 3 years from the date of her entry as spouse.


Period before that can be included but because of her long absence it is not possible.

February 2012 assuming you are a British citizen and that she meets the requirements.

many thanks for the quick response yes my wife should meet the requirements she is working has got a CRB from one of her employers and of course has already passed the life in the UK test not and has only left the country for three nights in July 2010 to collect the our three daughters who all have ILR as well
