Hi
I submitted certified copies of all our (mine and my wife's) degree certificates while filing for the PR. The Immigration team came back saying " Please arrange to submit the NZQA Assessment of your overseas quals along with relevant marsheets, as claiming points for your qualifications". The same was asked in my wife's case too.
I've just gone through the NZQA website and also given them a call this morning and they said we don't need our degrees to be assessed as it falls under the exempt category. Our degrees are from the Mumbai University.
I've replied back to the Immigration team mentioning that and also given them the link where it clearly shows degrees from the Mumbai University is exempted from assessment.
Do you think the NZ Immigration team will be convinced with this or will they still want our degrees to be assessed. It's such a rigid process that sometimes I feel I should have just carried on with my work to residence visa as I'm anyways working.
Quick response here will be much appreciated.
