Can I just ask a question. If we were thinking of moving over there in next 18 months to 2 years would we start applying for jobs now? We are looking for an employer sponsored visa if possible with my husbands trade but dont want to start sending his cv off now (he has been asked to send it to someone already) for them to offer him the job and we have to turn it down as we havent organised anything yet for moving.

how quickly do these things move?

thanks
