Your long absence may adversely affect your subsisting marriage, which may in turn affect your wife's status.

There's no guidance at present. However, she may fail E-LTRP.1.10.

The applicant and their partner must intend to live together permanently in the UK and, in any application for further leave to remain as a partner (except where the applicant is in the UK as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner) and in any application for indefinite leave to remain as a partner, the applicant must provide evidence that, since entry clearance as a partner was granted under paragraph D-ECP1.1. or since the last grant of limited leave to remain as a partner, the applicant and their partner have lived together in the UK or there is good reason, consistent with a continuing intention to live together permanently in the UK, for any period in which they have not done so.

Moreover, who is going to look after her and your baby while you are away?

I very much doubt that the Case Worker assessing your wife's application to remain in the UK, will be convinced that a husband (as the sponsor) jaunting off to the other side of the world for a 12 month working holiday is a good reason for the separation.

I wonder too how the OP would pass the financial tests for the FLR extension assuming the mother will be bringing up baby (alone).

+1 Good point. You're on the ball today Wanderer Maybe they have £62,500 in savings to make up for the lack of UK earnings.
