Only I am in the UK. My wife stays in India with our son. Can he join me?ShowHide
Only if you have sole responsibility for him, or there are serious and compelling reasons. If your wife is involved in his life, the normal answer is no. The family route is for both parents to apply, or for your wife to come as your dependant partner with the child.
Can my child go to school in the UK?ShowHide
Yes. A dependant child can attend state school. In England, you apply for a place through the local council after arrival, and a child under 5 can use funded nursery hours in most areas.
