Spouse visa with one dependent 2024

Dear all,

I would like to wish you all a pleasant day.

I am here asking some questions after new spouse rules from April2024.

I am a British citizen and planning to marry in near future. My spouse has a child who is her dependent and they both are going to join me after we got married.

I am a full time employed with £28,000 per annum which has started a month ago, and my question is i am short of £1000 for a spouse visa eligibility, what are the options to show equal ant amount and do I need to show extra earnings for a one dependent?

I appreciate your help in this regard.

Many thanks
