    Hi ,
    Since your wife has got a visa and work permit you will also recieve exactly the same status as your wife .So long she is legally working ,registered and have accomondation where you will live with her .You will get a visa to stay .
    You will need to get a job first to enabble you get a working permit .All you will need is a working contract from an employer that you will work for him /her.
    The Employer will apply for your work permit in Lux.
    It job is one of the easiest jobs you can get in Luxembourg ,but you have to start searching before you come over . Go on line and check out Amazon recruitment section ,check out with skype , Real player , and lots more their headquaters are all in Luxembourg.There are lots of IT companies and Banks in Luxembourg .You could be lucky to get hired .

    The best thing to do is to search online before comming down to Luxembourg.Check out and register with this web site .They will send you emails of jobs posting in Luxembourg

    First of all thanks to u Guys for giving such valuable responses :)

    Currently I am working in Pune-India with a leading MNC called Amdocs Inc.My wife will come to LUX after 3-4 moths (in oct/nov 2011) for her job and then i will get the dependent VISA as well. I am preparing myself in all the aspects so that i can get the job in LUX as soon as possible.I am fluent in English and Hindi languages but not really familiar with French or German.

    Rainer: Thanks a lot , i will surely send you my CV to you.

    I would like to ask you :
    1) How important it is to know the other languages (specially French) in LUX apart from English?
    2) I have done my Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science in 2005 and having 6 years work experience. Is this qualification is good enough to get a job in LUX?

    Hi ,
    I know of a guy from USA who got the same qualification like you ,no single word in French or German .He has a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science ,he got a job in ABL Advance biological laboratory Luxembourg .

    See the web site http://ablsa.com/site/en/index.html http://ablsa.com/site/en/company_contact.html

    He applied for the job online in USA ,got it and moved down .He got one year contract and after that it was extended but he tunned it down and went back to USA because he told me Luxembourg is too expenssive for him.
