Some of us here will be wondering what you are doing choosing to leave your wife for another continent at such a time.
Your interpretation appears to be the same as mine - i.e., that the OP can enter the country with his wife, but that she has to be able to support him.
I take this to mean that he will not be able to work legally in the UK on the strength of his wife's visa, and that he will need to get a visa/work permit in his own right. In other words, she can work, but he can't.
Does anyone know for sure?
