Hello Guys.

Need some advice and hope someone can kindly shed some light on these questions for me.
As Im still living in the Philippines pretty soon I will return to the UK and hopefully find myself a permanent job and then I can start the process of bringing over my wife and kids.
QUESTION 1 - PAYSLIPS
How many payslips do I need to show when applying for a spousal visa? 3 or 6 months? Will 3 months be okay if I have some savings of about 3thousand pounds?
QUESTION 2 – HOUSING
When my finding a rented house what is considered sufficient for my family? I don’t want to be refused on the grounds that my house is too small.
Just to give you an idea who will be living in the house.
MYSELF
WIFE
2 X BIOLOGICAL KIDS (DUAL NATIONALS BRITS AND FILIPPINO) THEY WILL STAY WITH MY WIFE IN THE PHILS
2 STEP CHILDREN
TOTAL PEOPLE OF 6.
Please Give me some advice on this one.
Many thanks
Aiden
