Tizer - please inform your friend, having read their petition, that they need to apply for a temporary visa known as a 'family of settled person' visa. They will be rejected from the 'indefinite leave to remain visa' as they haven't been married long enough, but the family of settled person (renewable twice) they won't have any grounds to refuse, and will last for 2.5 years (can be renewed after two) .

It's a temporary fix until you can permanently fix it but if the situation is as posted, it will lead to the permanent fix. Immigration office instructions are not to sign-post you down this route - you get given an answer on what you've applied for and that's it. May be that they've already tried it and something went wrong but worth making sure!
