Heads-up: your income band looks below the NLV requirement — €28,800/yr plus €7,200/yr per dependent (400% of IPREM) for your household. Review how you'll evidence sufficient passive means, or talk through alternative routes, before booking the consulate appointment
This is arithmetic on your own answers, done for you: comparing your income band against the NLV threshold for a household your size suggests a gap. It isn't a verdict — bands are rough, and consulates look at the whole evidence picture — but it's far better to discover this at the planning stage than at the appointment. A session with an immigration adviser on how to evidence your means, or whether another route fits better, is money well spent here.
