Hi guys, i am looking to migrate newzealand... i have done my matsers in It in Australia and could not able to get PR as i need to get 7 band each in IELTS.
Now i a in India working for Software company. i have 4 years of work exp and i am married. now i have overall 120 points for nz. please advice me whether i am eligible to apply for EOI. as i can see not many are selecting for EOI unless u have 140 or more. thanks in advance

If you have 120 points you are eligible but as you say you most likely will not be selected unless you have a job offer. You need to look back over the pass selection points pulled to see if anyone at 120 were pulled and decide if you think you have a chance over the 6mths to be selected. Or you need to get a job offer with an accredited company and add the points on

Unfortunately you would not have been selected on any draws so far this year with that points score and no job offer. As MrsFychan says, you are eligible to submit an EOI [as you have over 100pts] and this will stay in the pool for 6 months but you would be wasting your money if it didn't get selected. It is all about the chances of getting selected and it is extremely unlikely that you would be at the moment. Of course there could be a 'freak' draw where the pick gets that low but I would doubt that would happen.

You need to try and get a firm job offer first.

You would still also be subject to English language Requirements applying to NZ so you might like to check this info out as part of your research for applying to emmigrate http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...erequirements/
