Hi, I guess you are asking how the student can bring his wife over to join him. I think the form you need is here:

http://www.fco.gov.uk/Files/kfile/VAF1Oct06,6.pdf

For documentation, you would obviously need proof of your marriage, and also evidence that you can support and accommodate your wife without need of public funds. It's worth remembering that your wife would be able to work full-time in the UK if your student visa is for more than six months, but you can't rely on her theoretical earnings in your application. Maybe if there was a definite job offer for her, that might help.

Be absolutely sure that you have not exceeded your permitted working hours yourself. If the evidence in your application suggests that you have, they may check with your NI record, and your own visa could be cancelled!

I've no idea how long such an application might take to be processed.

See if someone more knowledgeable answers.

Good luck.
