I was thinking First Bank will go below N6 this morning. @7.40 means the future is very bright.

Good morning House,

I need the help or suggestions of the house. My wife has the spouse visa which is to expire towards the last quarter of this year. She works in Nigeria, and because of her work, she has refused to join me in the UK. This has been our issue. She's been visiting the UK and the longest she's stayed in the UK is 4months other times are three weeks, a month, sometimes two weeks. we had our child delivered in the UK, and one on the way. I believe the fear of uncertainty and not been able to get her kinda of job in the UK may be her fears of not wanting to relocate to the UK. Also she seem not to know what she wants as she still wants to renew her spouse visa despite not wanting to live in the UK. As in wanting to eat her cake and have it. Now that we are expecting an addition, I have told her that she may likely have to give birth in Nigeria. She said she wants to deliver in UK. which I may object. From my calculation she may be due to deliver nearer her visa expiration date.
I would like to know if her absence in the UK will affect her visa extension? I am aware that one has to live in the UK for a minimum of 181 days in a year. I don't know if the is application to the spouse visa extension or during the ILR. I do not want to waste my time efforts and money if her absence will affect her visa extension. I know what I went through during the initial stage while she did nothing hence she is not appreciating what she's got. Any advise will be appreciated.
