I understand that under the new rules she has to wait for 5 years on FLR(M) visa before she is eligible for ILR. I am a qualified Chartered Engineer and have had international visits/work experiences in my last 8 years profession. I have had several offers from other countries due to my experience. The offers are based on 2/3 years contracts however I am not sure what should I do as it may have a bearing on my wife's ILR. The fact is that we want to live together whether here or abroad.
So the question to gurus is really:
1) what is the best way forward apart from me waiting till Apr 2019 (when she is eligible to apply for ILR), the opportunities I am getting now may not be there by then

2) If I was to go abroad on my own, how would it affect her chances of ILR? i.e. requirements regarding the BC partner being present in UK etc.??
3) If she moves goes with me and her FLRM expires (2017), how would she re-enter after my contract abroad finishes. Would she have to apply again on FLRM from abroad when she accompanies me? Can she renew her FLRM before it expires by returning to UK or staying abroad? would the 5 year clock reset if she enters after her FLR(M) expires?
