Welcome to the forum!
According to previous post of well experienced members here, Yes your wife can work soon as she gets there(on a spouse visa of course)
they say 2k in your savings monthly helps, and a regular job

Don't have anything negative on the statements you need to supply .... No.1 rule

Many Thanks,for all the replies,you've all been very helpful.And I was wondering,if its quicker for me to process the spouse visa here,in the UK.Or my Wife,in the Philippines?

the visa app has to be processed in a country that your wife is a legal resident in. you cant process a visa for her from the UK
