Hello,
i have a few questions as we seek to get a spouse visa for my wife who lives in lagos.

1) My spouse and young girls live in Lagos and i in the UK.
2) She currently has a valid tourist visa (2 yr) though had been denied in the past.
3) She came to the UK last year December to settle the kids into pry and nursery schools ( kids are British).
4) She has stayed in the UK for most of this year though she has not stayed for more than 6 months at a stretch since she got her 2 yr visa . She returned to Nigeria during the year and came again. Primary reason was to settle the children into school as i am alone here and i work ( child care is challenging if i did it alone).
5) i asked her to return to Lagos this month to apply for her spouse visa. Plan is to do priority in order to reduce the time away. i 'll just bite the bullet and hold forte with these kids till she returns after a priority application ( hopefully in a month)

my questions are;

1) Though she had been refused in the past, can she still apply via priority service in Lagos?
2) Though she has been in the UK for most of this year ( she has however never stayed more than 6 months at a stretch ), will that be an issue?

Thanks
