Hi once again,
Im a little confused now - The boys at the NZ immigration are updating their website - My profession has now been removed from the Long term skills shortage list - its is now on the immediate skills shortage list!!!!! which means i dont have a clue what i should be doing now!!! Im in the process of filling out my EOI form and have a job offer which i am waiting for the details to arrive by post so that it can then be submitted - its literally all im waiting for and theyve changed the goal posts - can anyone offer any help?? or advice - i find the whole system very complex!!

If your job is on the ISSL list and you have a job offer, as long as you have over 100 points you will be picked at the next selection - you dont get extra points for the ISSL list though.

Hi, thanks for that - my job is on the ISSL list and i have a job offer, my points total 140, so do you think it will be ok to go via the EOI route? as was originally planned.

If your points total is 140 then that is an automatic selection with or without a job offer so go for it. Have you subtracted any points gained for being on the LTSSL?

hi - if my job was on the LTSSL i would have 165 points and now its not - i have 150 points - apparently they took it of in july 11 and i was looking at the wrong list! silly me. Anyways, still going to go for it, and the next thing is to prepare for the dreaded medicals - have looked at other threads on here and i dont know what my cholesterol levels are so im going to get a test done with my gp now - just so that if it is over 5 then i can do something about it before the medicals. If there is anything else i need to be aware of then i would greatly appreciate any tips. Many thanks in advance.
