How much income do I need to have?

[Terpe]

So do i still need to demonstrate additional income for my kids or am i correct that i only need to show the minnincome req 18,600?

No.
You do not need to demonstrate any additional income above the UKBA threshold of a gross income of £18600

If you are currently living in Philippines and do not currently have employment in UK then you'll need to secure a job at that salary level before your wife can make an application.
There are some special conditions in the Financial Requirements about this that might help in avoiding you residing in UK for 6 months before visa app.

Take some time to review if that applies

Hey Terpe

thanks for your reply.
Im interested in what you said about special conditions. Yes im still in the Philippines but im interested to know and it would be fantastic if i dont have to spend 6 months before visa app. I have been living with my family here for more than 5 years as husband and wife.

please advise further
thanks
