Hi Ron well from what you have said looks pretty plain sailing to me providing your land lord will give you a letter saying you can have your missus and kid there the no recourse to public funds bit is only for the first two years and with your net income plus "savings" grant no problem I can see.
If she works that might affect you rent being paid and then theres the council tax as you wont be alone in the flat but doable Go for it and all the best

Though no fault of your own, the injury you sustained on active service - and, moreover, IN DEFENCE OF THE REALM - has evidently left you at least partially *disabled [even though you don't regard yourself as *such]. I can think of few (if any) more honourable testaments to an ex-army man's sense of loyalty to his comrades. In the circumstances, and from the information you've shared here, I cannot imagine an Entry Clearance Officer refusing to grant a spouse visa - especially since your financial situation indicates you will have more than adequate resources [without working] to provide for your wife and child. I think you can safely rely on the reassurance given to you by Citizens Advice, together with your GP's letter of support.
Best of luck mate.
Hi Ron,Originally Posted by ron
I don't think your finances will be a problem, but I think your accommodation could be. I don't know exactly what the ECO guidance notes say on the subject, but I would have thought that they would require you to have at least two bedrooms to accommodate a married couple and one child. The guidance notes used by the ECO's are published online somewhere, so I suggest that you google it and see what they say about the subject.

Guidance on overcrowding
The Housing Act 1985 contains statutory definitions of overcrowding in "dwelling houses". Dwelling houses covers both privately owned houses and those owned by local authorities. A house is overcrowded if 2 persons of 10 years old or more of opposite sexes (other than husband and wife) have to sleep in the same room, or if the number sleeping in the house exceeds that permitted in the Act.
The Act specifies the numbers permitted for a given number of rooms or given floor area. For our purposes we adopt the room number yardstick. Account is only taken of rooms with a floor area larger that 50 sq feet and rooms of a type used either as a living-room or bedroom; kitchens or bathrooms etc are not included.
Using the above noted yardstick, the following table provides guidance as to the acceptable (for our purposes) number of persons occupying a house with a stated number of rooms:
NO OF ROOMS ..... PERMITTED NO OF PERSONS
.......... 1 ................................. 2
.......... 2 ................................. 3
.......... 3 ................................. 5
.......... 4 ................................. 7.5
.......... 5 ............................... 10
with an additional 2 persons for each room in excess of 5.
A child under the age of one does not count as a person. A child aged 1 - 10 years will count as only half a person.
