Hello Lugman
I have copied your post from the other thread as it may not get looked at in that thread.
Are these questions about your friend with 100 points as you seem to be talking about yourself here?;)


Have a look at the History of selection points here:
History of Selection Points

So far this year only those with >140pts and those with job offers have been selected [apart from one draw where those with >135 and 15 pts work experience in an area of skills shortage were selected]
This is the trend at the moment so I would say the chances of you being selected with 100 or even 130 pts are pretty much non existent. You really need to get a job offer to give you a chance. Things could change drastically but it's unlikely. Sorry

well actually he is confused in two points

10 points: work in an identified future growth area
10 points: work in an area of absolute skills shortage
he has worked but in UK, not in new zealand so can he obtain this bonus points. his skill is ICT network administrator and that comes in identified future growth area and in an area of absolute skills shortage.

The above categories refer to those with a job or job offer in NZ ONLY. Your friend has neither of these so he cannot claim these points

secondly the website states that
Bonus points for work experience in New Zealand:
Five points: one year
10 points: two years
15 points: three or more years.
He cannot claim for WE in NZ as he hasn't worked in NZ!

And if the work experience is in an identified future growth area:
10 points: 2 to 5 years experience
15 points: 6 or more years experience.
And if the work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage:
10 points: 2 to 5 years
15 points: 6 or more years.


These categories refer to work experience in general anywhere in the world. He can only claim points for WE in an identified future growth area IF he has a job or job offer.
He CAN claim pts for WE in an area of absolute skills shortage without a job or job offer in NZ

so again here he hasnt worked in newzealand can he claim this bonus? please guide me
