Hello Everyone!
one word for you: You both need work and residency permits. I hope you both can get in on the UK immigration points system.

And if you haven't got a friggin' clue what all the words above mean you should probably hire a lawyer specialising in UK immigration law.

Its getting harder and harder to get in the UK. Used to work for UK Border Agency so I know a little and I'll try and help
Do you have family here?
Can you get a job here before actually moving?
Are you going to invest here?
Do you have a decent amount of savings?
Are you free of criminal records?
If you can answer yes to any of them then you are making things a little easier as a starting point. I think the easiest of the lot is to try and make sure you have secured a job before you land. A good route to take is Monster.co.uk
Like t_maia said, check what points you already have and then work towards getting more. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask and I'll try and help. I left the agency in Feb '09 and things change so often it won't be the same so I can only offer general guidance really.
Good Luck
you're in luck if you're the following under wanted or out of luck if you're the following in not wanted
WANTED
Ballet dancers
Shortage of the most skilled. Plenty of applicants, but few have the "artistic excellence".
Civil engineers
Many vacancies take at least three months to fill. Also shortage of chemical engineers.
Quantity surveyors
Large numbers about to retire. Could be a shortfall of 2,600 over next decade.
Sheep shearers
Need to recruit from Australia and New Zealand during shearing season.
Ships' and hovercraft officers
British merchant fleet is expanding and training programmes struggle to respond.
NOT WANTED
Doctors and Nurses
Problems with recruitment occur only in posts such as consultants in psychiatry and operating-theatre nurses.
Midwives
Advisers said they did not receive enough evidence of shortages.
Carers
Recruitment problems blamed on poor pay. Non-Europeans allowed in if earning £8.80 an hour.
Teachers
It is not considered that the teaching sector faces serious shortages other than in maths and science.
Textile workers
Recruitment problems exist, but industry believes shortages can be tackled in UK.
