Hi,
My wife has compleated 5 years present in the uk on the 31st july 2019 on 5 year route with a spouse visa.
But her visa on here biometrics card expires at the end on november 2019.
Can she apply now or must she wait untill 28 days before expiry of current visa?
All requirements are met just need to know if they will allow it.
Thanks.

Yes she can even apply ILR 28 days before completing the 5 years since arrived to UK.

I have been told its risky if she has been out of the uk, as she has a few time around a total of 4 months in 5 years. Is it atill okay?

Luckily there is no absence threshold for spouse visa. She will be fine. Just declare the absence correctly.
