Senior members kindly any idea on this pls

Are you talking about settlement (i.e. getting her ILR) or just getting her a spouse visa?

I was pretty sure that they stopped giving out ILR abroad for spouses in 2012 (when they give it abroad it is called Indefinite Leave to Enter or ILE) but someone recently told me that there are cases where this happens. However, I can't find any mention of this anywhere (unless you happen to be a refugee and can apply for family reunion).

Under the pre-2012 rules, you could get ILE if you were married for 5 years prior to application. I think now you will probably have to apply for a spouse visa, wait five years and get her ILR that way. Unless you qualify for some other special category that allows them to give her ILE.

If you still think you might qualify for ILE, then I would get professional advice or at least wait for someone with more expertise than I have to respond.

@FireballXL5 - a spouse visa is also called a settlement visa. It does not mean ILR/ILE when applied from abroad.
