If the children are not British, then there will be a higher threshold to sponsor a child under the age of 18 before the partner reaches settlement.

Consider the EEA route.

It's much more difficult than 3 years ago. Does he meet the current requirements now?

He earning £24000 pa.How much he need to show income? can he bring only oldest son first?
Thanks Again

He could perhaps bring the oldest son if he had sole responsibility for the child, which does not appear the case. Therefore, they would have to come together. As Vinny suggests the Surinder Singh route (click) may be best. £24000 (£30600 Gross required) is not enough for a couple and 5 dep children. Are any of the children British or entitled to register as such?
