I am a software professional looking for LTSSL points under software engineer occupation. I have 9 years of experience of same.

Today, I received my IQA report where my bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering has been assessed as 'Bachelor degree at level 7'. This came as generic outcome.

I had specifically asked for specific outcome in assessment of my qualification. I have submitted Appendix B as well along with a covering letter in which I requested about it.

I don't understand why they have given such a generic outcome despite being requesting specific outcome and supplying all my 9 years of employment references documents.

They also suggested to go for IPENZ asking for comparibility assessment. But my doubt is, since I am software engineer and don't have the requirements to go for occupational registration, why i need to go for KA02 (assuming) assessment. All I need is specific comparable name of my qualification.

I was hoping to get 145 points, but after this report now reduced to 120!

Does that mean it is end of NZ dream!!!

sorry not having to have this done not sure what generic one is a problem, apart from the points amount. would a specific assessment give you more points??

Not sure how many would be able to help as this is predominantly a site for British Expats that would not need to go through this. may I suggest you speak to a immigration advisor in your own area to get the correct information or contact your local NZ Immigration office.

As for would this be the end of the dream - no - you need to ontain an offer of work to gain more points so it is still possible
