Hi biplob01,

Were you once an applicant of SILVER FERN JOB SEARCH VISA? So you used a credit card and got no problem upon paying? Coz it's pity if we try first our debit then when we shift to credit card, all the quota is filled in already.

Hope you understand the plight of the non-credit card holders.

Thanks biplop01 and Godspeed!

PS. Are you still in NZ now? What's your status of your stay there now? Pls share your experience here...Thanks a lot!

Regards,
R-Yell

Hello R-Yell,

Thanks for your message. I am in Australia now and I am one of the aspirant of SFV. I don't have credit card, so I called to immigration NZ to check the matter and they have confirm me that debit card can be used.

However, you advice is correct as time is too limited so better to not take any risk.

Do we need to sort anything prior to applying for the visa though? Or do we do that if we are successful with the visa?

Thanks!
Hello newbie_q,

I am from Australia as well. Would you mind if I ask your contact details plz. So that we can discuss some thing directly about the SFV application

It would not be a problem as long it is still active.

What happened when you applied last year? What was wrong?

Smile Re: Silver Fern Visa 2013

I got a postgraduate diploma from University of East Anglia in the UK.
I am wondering whether the PD qualification will be ok for the silver fern qualification. Someone said that can be level 8?
And I currently do not have the IELTS score of 6.5, but I noticed that when I were filling the forms for information, it shows "the qualification you used for the application was taught completely in English" is also can be the language evidence, I choose this option, is that ok? Do I still need to take the IELTS exam? Thanks a lot.

Btw, I am from China.

Hi,
I expect so.
Postgraduate Diplomas are said to be equivalent 'quality' to a Masters Degree, therefore I would use it myself in a Silver Fern Application.
However, looking on the qualifications exemption list the University of East Anglia appears but your qualification doesn't therefore you would need NZQA assessment of the Postgraduate Diploma.

As the course was taught in the UK and entirely in English it will be suitable proof that you hold the necessary minimum English Language requirement and not need IELTS but you must provide proof of this by submitting an official letter from the university - signed by the Principal stating that your course was taught entirely in English.......assuming you are successful in the Silver Fern application of course!

Cheers

Thank you for your explicit reply.
As you mentioned that I need a proof from the principal, could I do this after I have got the quota of the visa?

And are you sure that my qualification need NZQA assessment, because I found a page in the immigration.gv.nz shows the New Zealand qualifications framework, please see this URL :

Thanks

Just wanna help you guys by clarifying few things.

You don't need to worry about IELTS and Education assessment to apply for silver fern. You will just tick the option in the online application that you have the English language proofs and your qualification is of level 7 etc and go for the run no documents are required at the time of application submission.
The chances are low as thousands of applicants run for the quota. So its not wise to spend money and time doing IELTS and Qualification assessment beforehand. Once with your luck you will get a place in quota then u would have 4 months of time to do IELTS and NZQA assessment. But you should be confident that you will do IELTS or will provide English language proofs, also do check the criteria for NZQA levels and compare your qualification with that so you get a fair idea at which level you stand.

Best of luck (Y)
Thanks lots for this, Maryam. I'm looking to apply for the Silver Fern this year and NZQA is my final hurdle. My qualification is recognised, but not my university, so I'd have to go through NZQA. I was thinking I would apply for the visa first then worry about everything else afterwards (as you suggest) but wasn't sure if this would be OK. If that's what you did, that's what I'll do, too =)

(If all else fails I'll come out on a working holiday visa and shovel horse poo for 6 months!)

Hope you're having a great time in NZ

Emily.

Hi,
I have been working in Singapore for last two years as a IT Consultant. I am originally from Sri Lanka. I fall under Level 7 illegibility.

Do I still need to take IELTS exam to proof my English?
