Do you have a family member over there who would sponsor you? Even an aunt or uncle would do.

cheers, divorce not really an option good idea though it is.
Unfortunatly I have no family out there to sponsor us.
Anyone know where to look for jobs you can apply for before getting a visa? :roll:

If you don't mind me asking, what's your points breakdown?
Also - have you considered getting a consultation with an agent? They usually do a free one and can give an indication on the various wranglings which can be done.

Have you looked into the STNI visa - you only need 70 points for that or if your occupations aren't on that what about the SIR - you only need 110 points for that one.

hi, Hubby has a Beng hons in mechanical engineering and has been in raf as aircaraft technician for 16 years. I am a nursery nurse nvq 3, don't think that counts though for points.
thanks everyone for help :shock:

I don't think the qualifications count as much as the experience does when it comes to assessment. I'd strongly suggest visiting an agent, cos it sounds to me like you may have two 60 point occupations there, depending on the amount of experience.
