Mrs Clennel was given indefinite leave to remain in the UK after her marriage.
But periods spent back in Singapore caring for her elderly parents appear to have invalidated her residential status.
She says she has made repeated attempts - both in Singapore and in the UK - to re-apply for permission to live with her husband.
Mrs Clennel says her husband is in poor health and she has become his principal carer.
A Home Office spokesman said: "All applications for leave to remain in the UK are considered on their individual merits and in line with the immigration rules.
"We expect those with no legal right to remain in the country to leave."
The charity Migrant Voice says a campaign is starting to bring her back to Britain.
Director Nazek Ramadan said her case was "yet another example of how arbitrary policies tear apart families and ruin lives".
