Newly wed in Paskistan - Where do I start?

[ibysmalls]

Hi / Salaam.

I have just got married abroad in Pakistan and now I am looking into and researching on how to bring her over to the UK. I guess this question is asked many times and guides are written on it. If people can give me some pointers as to what I need to do Please can they let me know.

So far here are the facts:
-We have been married since the 23rd of May 2016.
-I only actually spent two weeks with my wife although I went for 2 months to Pakistan.
-Went abroad on 9th April 2016 and came back to the UK on the 10th of June 2016
-We have been talking to each other on Whatsapp quite a lot and phone calls etc are all happening.
-I am 23 and have wages for 6 months showing salary which will amount to £18,600 exactly. I have been working since a while and 6 months a go I asked for a pay rise to this amount which they granted.
-I have the Nikah nama (Mariiage certificate) in Urdu Original and a Translation of it in English which has been stamped.

There is a lot I need to do, This is my list so far:

1) Ask the Mrs to open up a Bank account in her name so when I send supporting funds, it goes straight into her account on her name. (I am going to find out if a joint account can be made without me being present in Pakistan to supply information)
2) Her Pakistani Nationality card is going to be altered to also have my name on the card/system as her Husband.

I don't know where to start or what the exact documents required are or where and how the submission works. If people can give me a hand with this I would really appreciate it. Obviously I am trying to do everything properly and not miss anything out.

Thanks

She will also have to pay the £600 immigration health surcharge on top of the £1,195 visa fee.

She doesn't need a bank account for a visa application. Why do you think she does?
