What is your work profile and how would it help NZ?
Which place you will settle once in NZ? I answered Wellington, following question was: What do you know about wellington?
NZ economy?
Education System?
Cost of living?
Possible obstacles in finding a job?
What would you do If you do not get a job as quickly anticipated?
What are my long term plans?
Once I arrive what would I do to ensure settling of me and my family?

The questions were pretty standard and already covered in this forum.

Thank you all for contributing and sharing your experience and posting questions with answers. It helped a lot.
