No idea. OH is qualified Accountant, spent today collating his paperwork to be submitted to CIMA.
Once they've got that and signed it off he is officially a CIMA member and can call himself one!
We are then to get back in touch with the agent and go from there.
The agent said we could first try and go on a state nom visa.
So at the mo, it's very early days.
I'm on maternity leave at the moment, so it's great that I can look on BE and get loads of advice etc.
I just want to get the ball ralling, I'm one impatient lady, but I know from looking at lots of threads on here that it can take a long time.

You'll get lots of advice here if you know where to go for particular questions...some very helpful, supportive people.
And a good laugh when you feel things are getting you down!

Yeah I've only really starting posting the last few days, I've pretty much been sitting back and reading what's been going on
![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
It's as though a lot of you all know each other really well!
I think it'll be very useful being able to bounce off people in similar situations.
If I go quiet soon it's 'cos I'll be feeding the baby.
