As an HSMP visa holder you were admitted under paragragh 135B of the Immigration Rules, so paragraph 194 does apply to your wife. As already said in this thread, go for it!194. The requirements to be met by a person seeking leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as the spouse of a person with limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom under paragraphs 128-193 (but not paragraphs 135I-135K) are that:
(i) the applicant is married to a person with limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom under paragraphs 128-193 (but not paragraphs 135I-135K); and
(ii) each of the parties intends to live with the other as his or her spouse during the applicant's stay and the marriage is subsisting; and
(iii) there will be adequate accommodation for the parties and any dependants without recourse to public funds in accommodation which they own or occupy exclusively; and
(iv) the parties will be able to maintain themselves and any dependants adequately without recourse to public funds; and
(v) the applicant does not intend to stay in the United Kingdom beyond any period of leave granted to his spouse; and
(vi) if seeking leave to enter, the applicant holds a valid United Kingdom entry clearance for entry in this capacity or, if seeking leave to remain, was admitted with a valid United Kingdom entry clearance for entry in this capacity.
Hi John,John wrote:Hi, as regards accommodation, also deal with the issue of whether the accommodation is "suitable", that is, not overcrowded, and will not be overcrowded after your wife joins you in the UK.
That is, ignoring any Spam, bathroom or toilet, how many rooms are there in the place that measure at least 50 sq feet? Also how many people will be living there after your wife joins you. This data will no doubt prove that the place is not overcrowded.
"Adequate accommodation" includes not overcrowded. Have a read of :-(iii) there will be adequate accommodation for the parties and any dependants without recourse to public funds in accommodation which they own or occupy exclusively
So if there will be only the two of you having the exclusive use of "one double bed room and one single bedroom", well one "counting room" is sufficient to cover that.Account is taken only of rooms with a floor area larger than 50 square feet and rooms of a type used either as a living room or bedroom: rooms such as Spam or bathrooms are excluded.
Under the Housing Act, the number of people sleeping in accommodation must not exceed the following:-
NUMBER OF ROOMS =1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALLOWED = 2
NUMBER OF ROOMS =2 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALLOWED = 3
NUMBER OF ROOMS =3 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALLOWED = 5
NUMBER OF ROOMS =4 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALLOWED = 7.5
NUMBER OF ROOMS =5 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE ALLOWED = 10
Each additional room in excess of 5 = An additional 2 people
For the purposes of the Act, a child under one does not count as a person and a child aged 1-10 counts as only half a person.

You mention a studio flat. If only you and your wife will be living there, you only need to have one room, as defined, in order for the place not to be overcrowded.
Your no. 2 ..... your passport .... also supply a copy of the name and pic page of the passport. Indeed, as regards your passport, if your actual passport is not going to be available when your wife goes to get her visa, for example because you are in the UK at the time, supply a certified copy of the pages from the passport. Any Solicitor will be able to make you a certified copy. Just take your passport into them and they will do the necessary.
Your no. 5 bank statements ..... you need to show that your wife will not need to claim certain Public Funds. If necessary supply the bank statements from both countries.
