EOI POints for Uncle?
 
Hi All,
Thanks for help and advice so far. Much appreciated :thumbsup:

I had a look on Immi NZ website to see if we would get points for my wife having an uncle who is now a NZ Citizen (after 30 years or so - not recent) and has family there etc.

Either the link is not working or I was trying the wrong one. Does anyone know how many points we would get (if any)?

Cheers!

Looking at the NZIS operations manual , I don't think that an uncle qualifies for points.

As he doesn't get you points, I suggest he offers you summat else, like several months free stay once you are here. ;)

Keep positive it did help in our interview when we said we had close family in NZ, even if they didn't help us gain any points!!! X
