Getting ITA for the second time
Dear Folks,
I am Swami from India. I submitted my EOI during July and got it selected during the subsequent selection. I received my ITA within the next 1 week too. I had four months of time to submit all the relevant documents. During this time my partner became pregnant and I didn't complete the medicals for her, fearing some complications. So I missed my chance of submitting it before November. Now I plan to do it again sometime during Feb, so that the medicals can be carried on both of us during April. my questions are... 1. Can I submit my EOI now ?? and will there be any problem in the re selection of my EOI?? 2. If I submit now, I will have time till May for submission of my documents. But, do I need to take up the IELTS test ?? 3. What is the chance of getting a PR as I am little worried about the Work for Residence visa?? 4. I am from Information Technology Industry and my partner is from that too?? Do I need to have a job offer for getting the PR?? or to be specific, what are the criteria for one to get PR instead of Work to Residence(WTR)?? 5. How long does it take for the approval of the PR or WTR to happen?? 6. Do I need to take up the visa interview along with my partner?? Regards Swami |

Missed to mention in the earlier thread.

Hi Swami,
I haven't a clue about Aussie immigration. For New Zealand immigration information please see => http://britishexpats.com/wiki/Catego...nd_Immigration |
Re: Getting ITA for the second time
Hi,
But, I had quite a few queries on NZL immigration which I have listed in my earlier post, viz, I submitted my EOI during July and got it selected during the subsequent selection. I received my ITA within the next 1 week too. I had four months of time to submit all the relevant documents. During this time my partner became pregnant and I didn't complete the medicals for her, fearing some complications. So I missed my chance of submitting it before November. Now I plan to do it again sometime during Feb, so that the medicals can be carried on both of us during April. my questions are... 1. Can I submit my EOI now ?? and will there be any problem in the re selection of my EOI?? 2. If I submit now, I will have time till May for submission of my documents. But, do I need to take up the IELTS test ?? 3. What is the chance of getting a PR as I am little worried about the Work for Residence visa?? 4. I am from Information Technology Industry and my partner is from that too?? Do I need to have a job offer for getting the PR?? or to be specific, what are the criteria for one to get PR instead of Work to Residence(WTR)?? 5. How long does it take for the approval of the PR or WTR to happen?? 6. Do I need to take up the visa interview along with my partner?? Can you please give your response to the above queries?? Thanks Swami |

Sorry, I can't say much about the Work-to-Residency route as I have no experience in that area.

The draws for the EOIs are fortnightly. If you are successful you will be notified. As to how long it takes to recieve your ITA, who knows? It seems to vary.

Re: Getting ITA for the second time
In fact I kept NZIS informed with a mail about my inability in applying, just after my ITA expiry date.
I am not a native English speaker, but I had all my education in English even my work environment is primarily having English as communication language. Is it in the discretion of NZIS accessing officer in asking for IELTS in my case?? Thanks a lot for your response to most of my queries. I collected many informations about NZL. But, I am little concerned only on the Work to Residence and the EOI submission again. Regards Swami |

If your English is of a reasonable standard I don't see why you would worry to much about the IELTS requirement.

Regards Swami An option that you may want to consider is to find an employer and apply to NZIS for a temporary work visa if you are outside New Zealand or a temporary work permit if you are inside New Zealand. This will give you time to sort yourself out here and gives you a bit more flexibility - the main advantage is that it's rather a simple process. Good luck. |
Re: Getting ITA for the second time
Hi,
Thanks again for the response. The truth is, I had been trying to find an Information Technology job through some consultant in NZL for 6 months now, so that the temporary work permit can be obtained, but no success. They always insist on work permit even for the offer Hence started applying my Visa.. I think its tough to get an offer without a work permit ;) Swami |
Re: Getting ITA for the second time
You really need to come here. You can imagine how many CVs that employers get from overseas from people that may or may not decide to immigrate to New Zealand. You would be better served if you perhaps came here on a tourist visa and devoted your time to job interviewing. Boots on the ground show prospective employers that you are serious about working in New Zealand and not just using the employer as a way to obtain PR.
Good luck. |
Re: Getting ITA for the second time
Its Absolutely true. I should show the commitment on that, only than Employers would believe guys like me to give the job. I should do that. But I am serious in moving to NZL for sure.
Thanks Swami |
