Hi all,

Having read as many posts as possible to answer the many questions I have, I now realise that I need some help!  My husband (aged 41 years, developer programmer) and I (aged 40 years, secondary school teacher) wish to emigrate to Aus.  We would like to get a 189 skilled independent visa but wonder who it is best to put on the application?  Is one occupation better/preferred than the other? 

I thought that maybe computer programmers would be more desirable than secondary teachers especially as my specialism at secondary is Citizenship (with English).  I have put together some basic information on each of us below.  I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable than ourselves could take a look and give us an opinion.  Many thanks.

Husband - Computer Developer

• Employed/self employed in the above position for over 20 years
• Spent Criminal conviction for affray (2004)
• Suffers from Crohns disease, last hospitalisation 7 years ago.

Me: I have a psychology degree and my pgce is for Citizenship with English.  I have been a psychology teacher for the past 14 years.  No medical or criminals issues.

A second question: Should we use a migration agency and if so which one is best?

Many thanks all x Marie x
