If your married you might be better off applying for permanent residency, then you don't have to worry about it down the line if she wants to stay!

Your best bet would be to apply for a settlement visa, which is valid for 2 years, then she applies for indefinite leave to remain. She would not be able to extend a visit visa or apply for any other type of visa while in this country

AS far as I know. you cannot apply for a permanent residency. You will first have to bring her on a Dependent Visa. Once she comes to the UK then she will have to stay with you for a minimum of 3 years before you can apply for naturalization.

I'M SURE THAT THE GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT NOTICE ANOTHER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL BRING HER PARENTS AS WELL
