Hi.
1.You need at least a PAR (preliminary Assessment for your degree if it's not Listed in Appendix 3). you own't have tme to get an IQA before 20 November, but a PAR shoudl only take 20 days - see
http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualificatio...ssment-result/.
2. You have 6 months to enter NZ after you have been granted a Silver Fern Visa. If you are lucky enough to be amongst the 300, you then have a few (4 from memory) months in which to gather the evidence to prove what you said when you applied.
3. By 20th November, you need the PAR as mentioned above. You wil need access to your passport number and expiry date, credit card details, a secondary form of ID e.g. driving licencne or birth certificate. I would strongly advise that you create your login ready. However, this year, there will be no opportunity to pre-fill the form. I haven't seen the 2014 form of course, but this would have been useful last year. You usually get about 5 minutes before all the places have gone. Good luck!
