My husband now has an interview for redeployment at his current firm. But we have decided to go with an agent and see what our chances of getting a visa are. I think we are not putting our eggs in one basket and I feel happier about that decision. I have been trailing through the posts and it seems most people are happy once they have moved and gotten over the stress of settling in a new country. Think that has helped me to feel a bit more positive and less 'pushed'. Thanks to all who have responded.
