Does it mean i can get an extention on my wifes 6 month visa,

[Eff1n2ret]

Is your wife's 6-month visa a fiancee visa, i.e. it permitted her to come here and marry you here, or is it just a visit visa?

If the former, and you have got married as planned, she can go ahead and apply under the rule you quoted. If not, she can't.

[the scouser]

If your wife arrives in the UK on a visit visa, she cannot then make an application for settlement without leaving the UK.

Scouse.

You certainly are living up to your board name hopeful. You asked the same question a few days ago and were told then that your Mrs had to be in Thailand to apply for a settlement visa. You can carry on asking the same question, but the answer is the same and the reason, because they are the rules at the moment. You'd be better advised getting your Mrs the correct settlement visa now before travelling, rather than wasting time on here trying to get a glimmer of hope that the rules aren't as everyone tells you.
