Short of a signal detected by SETI, this (most very likely) won't happen in our lifetimes.
What we will probably see in our lifetimes is confirmation that the environment around an exoplanet must have complex organic life in it, as the atmosphere can only be explained by that.
I don't think it's possible (ever) to build a telescope with enough resolution to image individual wildlife on an exoplanet.
Most likely proof of exobiology will come from fossil evidence on Mars or Titan, or living samples from Titan, Encaldus, or Europa.
And of course, the infamous WOW! signal was recently solved. They figured out it came from a long period comet. Other comets of the same type give off almost the identical signal as they near the sun, and they figured out exactly which comet it came from. I'll find the link if I can, but I'm pretty sure it was on IFLS.
