Which immigration category??
New to the site and welcome some immigration advice!!
We are unsure where we sit with immigration......as David is a HR manager..I am from a personnel background, although I have been made redundant so I have completed my first year of a psychology degree at the Open University.....qualifying for a certificate in social science which is recognized as a basic qualification awarding 50 points.........so in order to make around 140 - 145 points.....David would need to secure a job.....but HR is not on the skills shortage list. So we are unsure what category we sit in??????
Another problem is the 'catch 22' with the Visa / Job offer conundrum. as David has a good job here and we have two children aged 7 and 5, preferably we would prefer to secure a job offer before he hands in his notice.....but without a visa Companies have been a bit reluctant ........we have a few more applications with Companies in Northland - Whangarei and Hamilton area....so we shall see....but very frustrating
Any tips and advice would be very much appreciated.....by the way many thanks for your welcome in the introductions forum!!!!!! I was a bit worried I would have no replies....

firstly you can either go the skilled migrant route or the work to residence route...but both need a job offer. How many points do you have...if it's over 100 it's usually OK but without a job offer you could be in the pool for a long time.
We are in Northland in Whangarei and I work in HR, so if you want some more info from us you can email us at [email protected].
