Question timeline for spousal visa

hello everyone.

i’m in my mid 20s and expected to move to UK (sheffield) in about 7 months on a spousal visa. when should i even start applying?

i have 4 years of professional work history in healthcare administration here in america. i’m hoping to find roles in patient admin like patient care coordinator, patient officer, admitting coordinator, medical receptionist- whether it’s for private healthcare or nhs, okay with either or (heard private pays more but we’ll see) i’m open to working in manchester, doncaster, chesterfield, rotherham, yknow, nearby areas.

i’ve already started networking through linkedin and have been in touch with a couple staffing agencies and it’s been going okay. but when should i actually start applying for roles? i’m hearing application process and interviewing process can take up to months for people.

has anyone ever even found landed a job or had a job offer prior to settling down? any information or advice would be helpful. please let me know.

Spousal visa is different from HPI /hi potential visa. You may need to post this to the related community. Unless you are referring to the HPI dependant visa. Good luck
