1. https://www.gov.uk/join-family-in-uk/overview VAF4a Read through the information and come back with specific questions. I don't think you can expect members to post all rules and checklist.
2. Yes
3. No
4. A1 level

Your wife must be earning a minimum of £18,600 per annum or savings over £16,000 to make up any shortfall, in order to sponsor you.

sponsor(wife) is already having valid indefinite leave to enter(expire on 09 September 2016) so i guess she doesn't require BRP(biometric residence permit) right ?
Query:
1) How many months before she suppose to renew her indefinite leave to enter(ILE) prior to expiry ?
2) Does Indefinite Leave to Enter(ILE) carries the same entitlement as “Indefinite Leave to Remain” (ILR) ?
3)Is it necessary to transfer the UK Infinite Leave to enter(ILE)visa from old Nepali passport to new Nepali passport(Machine Readable i.e MRP) in order the applicant( husband,Nepali citizen) to apply for UK visa ?
4) Sponsor got the P60 (annual) total amount £18030 from 01 April 2014 to 30 April 2015, so we are planning not to show P60 of last year that shows amount less then £18600/-annual and will show only 6 months Bank statement from December 2014 to June 2015 because during this 6 months the minimum monthly salary was around £1,600/-(i.e £19,200 annually) Is this OK ?

1. She may choose to apply for NTL in a new passport (see also 29). Perhaps necessary, if she applies for new employment.
2. Yes.
3. Probably no.
4. See also Appendix FM-SE.

thanks Vinny...
In case of Sponsor(wife) accommodation:
Sponsor(wife) is staying with her eldest sister's family in the rented house(3 bed room house) and there are total 5 members(including my wife) and late on 6 members when i(applicant) will be there in the house.
1)Is it legally allowed 6 members in 3 bed room house ?
2) Applicant (husband) required what documents from Sponsor side regarding accommodation ?

1. Overcrowding.

2. Adequate accommodation.

Thanks Vinny,

Need to know this before applying i know my visa will not be refused but just in case....
If UK spouse application is refused then within how many months can reapply for UK spouse visa from the date of application refused ?
Is there any time frame for reapplying UK spouse visa ?

You can re-apply straight away or appeal if you feel the refusal is unjust. Do bear in mind that as the property is rented, you will need a written letter from the landlord agreeing to you joining the household.

thanks casa
