BTW I am currently connected with one of the biggest telco companies here in the Philipines as a network specialist. Been with IT industry for about 10 years now. My wife on the other hand is a call center agent of a known printer company (not actually a BPO) also here in Cebu. She has also finished SPED.

Her mom is already there working as a secretary of a business man based in London as well. My sister is a nurse working at Warwick.

Most likely, my wife will go there first this June. She will leave me together with my daughter here for a few months. Hopefully we can decide so soon on when we will all migrate there. As of now we are still processing her student visa application.

Please send us tips or suggestions for these items below:
1. Agency to approach
2. Direct application
3. Employment opportunities for me (ECE/ITC) and my wife (IT/SPEC)
4. Places to settle where our respective professions are mostly needed
5. Airsoft locations (hehe... because this is my most beloved sport)

Thank you in advance folks and hopefully we can get feedback soon from this community. Have a nice day to all of us...
Hi and welcome to the forum. Things are being tightened up in this country with regard to student visas because there were so many people coming here who were not registered with genuine colleges and who's real intentions were to get to the UK to work. So if and when your wife decides where and what she wants to study in the UK, you should ensure that the college is genuine and is on the UK government's list of recognised colleges. She will also have to have finances in place to support her in the UK for the period of her study and she can't rely on working here to support herself because as a student she will only be allowed to work 20 hours a week.

As for yourself, I think you will need to read this http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoap...sskilledworker , because I don't think you will be able to join your wife here if she only has student visa, I think you will have to qualify to come here in your own right under the highly skilled migrant points based system.
