You need to prove that you can support, maintain and accommodate your wife yourself. You should not rely for support from friends. If you cant prove this, your wife visa will most likely be refused.

I would therefore get some saving done and at the same time make sure that your income from your employment is sufficient to support you both. Do this before getting married and applying.

Also keep all your posts in one post rather than different ones. That way they will get answered

It needs to be more than what a couple would recieve in benefits. Something like 103/week after rent and council tax.
