Thanks for your questions. Since you are just starting out on looking for information on migrating to the UK, I can highly recommend that you take a look at the UK Border Agency website: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/

 

I think this will provide you with all the information that you are looking for and more.

 

However, to answer some of your questions. Here is the current shortage occupation list for applications under Tier 2 of the Points Based System:

Here is some information on family visas (including spouse and fiance visas):

Here is some information on UK ancestry:
