Your wife can travel to the UK as long as the visa is valid and has not expired ( normally 24 months).

If she arrives 3 months after visa was issued to her, she would have to apply for Further leave to remain to make up the 2 yrs requirement for the next stage of application which will be the ILR (Indefinite leave to Remain). It will cost you around £450+ for FLRM :wink:

If she enters the UK within 3 months (and 28 days), then she may be able to subsequently apply for settlement.
