Timelines are in the link below, but how long it takes depends on your case and documents.

At some point, your wife will receive a letter to submit biometrics. This will need to be done within the time specified in the letter and can only be done at the Post Office. Once your wife has submitted her biometrics, it will be sent to UKBA. How long it takes after that varies from person to person.
