We found that OZ has more options for us. What line is your husband in? Is it automotive by any chance? Know loads of jobs going if it is. Drop me a line and and I will fill you in. Hope to hear from you soon. Ang

You can get a permanent residence visa and go to australia, even if you do not have a job. If I remember right, all you need is to have a profession that is in a gov. list of desirable professions, and prove that you are a professional in that area of expertese. the Visa is called general skilled migration General Skilled Migration :fingerscrossed:
