Moving to the US
My husband has already got a job waiting for him in the US, how does he go about the whole process of getting the right visa.

To specifically answer your question, he does not, his Employer does. What have they said?

He is a qualified roofer but he also has all the necessary health and safety certificates and extra qualifications and certificates to prove this.
He has done numerous courses in all aspects of roofing and roofing safety, and has gained the relevant qualifications and certificates required to do the job.
He has sent copies of all these to his prospective employer and he said himself he is impressed by the qualifications that he holds, he has offered him a job but isn't himself sure where to start, any help would be appreciated.

Re: Moving to the US
Unfortunately, "roofer" is *not* a qualified occupation for getting a visa. Sorry!
Now, all that said, if he were lucky enough to qualify for an H-1B visa, it could not be submitted prior to April 1, 2009 for work starting in October 2009. You, as his wife, would receive an H-4 visa and, while you could live with him in the US, you could not work... ever!

He certainly sounds well qualified... but there is nothing that your husband can do. The company who offered the job, must start the paperwork for his visa... by filing a Labor Condition Application with the Department of Labor.
