Silver Fern vs SMC
hey guys ..
thot i wud ask u .. I have the potential to claim 145 points (without work offer) ... i.e. my qualification, exp, skill on LTSSL (ICT), and wives qualification (although I am awaiting NZQA to finish assessing her qualification) ..
Should I try to obtain the Silver Fern Visa?? .. assuming I get it ..
This seems to be the fastest route in obtaining a valid visa to work in NZ .. And if i do get a permanent job under SFJSV. .how soon can i apply for PR? 2 years of experience under the silver fern practical visa?? .. wouldnt that be infact the longer route of obtaining a PR??
The reason why I ask this is because I have a sibling in Auckand with a PR married to an NZ citizen.. and she can sponsor my parents only if I am not living in my country of current residence with my parents...
thanks ...

You can apply under SMC, and also apply for Silver Fern while the other application is in. (If you go into NZ on the SF JSV, you do not have to progress to the SF Practical Experience Visa.) If you get a skilled job while on SF JSV, and your EOI has not yet been selected, it would immediately be (although if you genuinely have 140 or more points, it would be selected at once anyway). If you are approved under SMC and get Residence, two years from receiving your Residence visa is the soonest you can apply for PR - the requirements for that are here. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...quirements.htm You can't move to PR from either Silver Fern visa.

With my silver fern JSV, I secured a job and I applied for my residence visa instead of the practical experience visa.

Maddy, Does it take 3 months from the time of application to get the Silver Fern Job visa? Was it online at that point of time? How much time does it take to fill up the application form based on your experience?
