Hi,
I am planning to Submit EOI for SMC
I did Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Andhra University ,Visakhapatanam,India
I am Software Tester with 6+ years of Experience.
I calculated the points as below.
30 Points:Age
Qualifications:
50 points: recognised level 7 qualification - Bachelor of Engineering from Andhra University( 4 year degree course from India).Present in NZQA Exemption List
Work experience in skilled employment:
20 points: 6 years.Software Tester (261314)
15 points: Additional bonus points if work experience in an area of absolute skills shortage" :6 years
10 Points: Bonus Point if Qualification in any one of New Zealand's areas of absolute skills shortage
20 points: if your partner holds a level 7+ qualification(It is Not in the NZQA Exempted list )
If i calculate Total points comes to 145.
below are my questions
1)Am i correct in selecting the points? If not Please correct me .
2) My wife degree is not present in NZQA Exemption List. She did M.S.C in Microbiology. It is definitely Level 7 or 8
Should i go ahead with submitting EOI and Later submit IQA for My wife qualification?
Should i go for NZQA PAR first and then submit the EOI?
3)I have seen many people with B.E Electonics and commincation degree and Softwre Experience. Have you faced any challenges w.r.t bonus points. If so how is it handled? I did not see any post who is successful with this criteria.
Please share your thoughts
