Thanks for your reply Bev,

I knew moving to the states wouldn't be easy! The only other option would be if my girlfriend moved to England instead but I think the weather in this country puts her off more than anything else! This is the main reason I want to move out

I have been thinking about Austrialia as I have heard they have a big skills shortage and the weather is good too! Do you have any knowledge of Aussi?

Cheers

Phil
