Wife's UK Permanent Resident Visa Run Out!

[bisonic]

I wonder if anyone could advise?
I am a UK national and my Canadian wife's UK permanent residence visa
ran out in June 09 (after 2 years). Unfortunately her father took ill and she missed the deadline to apply for Indefinite Leave to remain. Can you advise
what steps we need to take now to apply for this? She is currently in
Canada with her family.
Many thanks,
Sean

I suspect you mean a spouse visa. She should apply for a new one as an application for a settlement visa could well be refused.

I thought perhaps ya. So you think get the 2 year temporary leave to remain visa and then apply for Indefinite?

Many thanks for your thoughts - there is no info on the official sites for this scenario.

Yes I'm afraid that's really your only option.
