Re: work in New Zealand
I have, my job is on the skills shortage list, not sure about my partner as his railway qualifications will probably be different in NZ. We are looking for a permanent visa as we have a 3 year old aswell. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I had a check on the skills shortage lists and can't find phlebotomist - Though it has been known to play up

Only thing is that you can't claim extra points on your EOI for a job on the ISSL. However it makes it easier for an employer to offer you a job and for you to get a work visa (temporary). The job offer would help you gain residency as a skilled migrant. If the employer is willing to wait long enough then you may be able to go straight to the skilled migrant category since you have a job offer in place I'd be surprised if an employer would pay for anything more than a work visa though but you can only ask if and when!
