Question: Are you filling in your form on-line, or on paper? If it's on paper then i'd recommend completing it on-line. It provides much useful information along the way and helps you complete all the bits - and just the bits - you need to.
Also, all the answers below are from
Immigration New Zealand - it takes some getting used to but all your future answers should be there too.

Try the following:
SM8 Bonus points: employment in...
This is the relevant bit...
SM8.10 Employment in an identified future growth area
1. As future growth areas are identified they will be listed in this provision. For the purposes of this policy, currently identified future growth areas are as follows:
* Biotechnology
* Information Communications Technology
* Creative industries (Advertising, Software & Computing Services, Publishing, TV and Radio, Film and Video, Architecture, Design, Designer Fashion, Music and Performing Arts, Visual Arts).
2. Skilled employment in one of the identified future growth areas set out above will only qualify for points if the principal applicant provides confirmation from their employer, and an immigration or visa officer is satisfied, that their current employment or offer of employment is in one of those identified future growth areas.

On question G1: Please indicate why you believe this work experience should be recognised. (For example, it is relevant to your recognised qualification, or your skilled employment).
|
The following is from the Expression of interest Guide (
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/NR/rd...1D4/0/1101.pdf)
SM11.10 Requirements for recognition
Work experience is recognised and qualifies for points if it meets the requirements set out at (a) and (b) below:
a. A visa or immigration officer must be satisfied that work experience is:
i relevant to the principal applicant’s* current skilled employment in New Zealand or offer of skilled employment in New Zealand (see SM7); or
ii relevant to the principal applicant’s* recognised qualification (see SM14); or
iii skilled, because it required, or enabled the principal applicant* to gain specialist, technical, or management skills and experience relevant to an occupation that is included in the lists of occupations held at Appendix 11 or Appendix 12.
b. Work experience must also have been gained in a labour market that is comparable to the New Zealand labour market unless:
i the work experience meets the requirements set out at SM13.20 for work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage; or
ii the principal applicant* has current skilled employment in New Zealand or an offer of skilled employment in New Zealand (see SM7).

Question G4.Please indicate the total number of years of work experience in an identified future growth area.
|
I think this is a straightforward one. If you do have work experience in an identified future growth area (as answered in your question above) then how many years have you worked in that industry?

Wife was denied entry but not deported from UK (UK terminology) at 19 (19 years ago). Does this mean that we have to do a paper application or do we not have to put this down as it was so long ago?
|
Why would this make a difference to the type of form you complete? The questions are the same on both the paper and online form.

My husband is in Refrigeration but as much as we can find his career on the list = we can’t find a job description that actually suits what he does. He doesn’t do aircon and heating (which seems to be the only option available) He’s in industrial refrigeration and works in different environments eg meat processors, biscuit factories, beer and malt factories, ice rinks, pharmaceuticals, petrochemical etc.

Try the following link:
Essential Skills in Demand Lists
Then search for 'Refrigeration'
It should find the following:
Airconditioning and Refrigeration Mechanic (342111)
