    Default claiming points for absolute skills shortage for work experience

    According to SM13.10 I can not claim points for work experience in identified future growth area if I don't have an offer of skilled employment.

    I am little confused about SM13.20. My previous experience is listed in absolute skills shortage list and I have relevant qualification for it. Do I need to have a skilled employment or I can claim points without a job offer.

    You can only claim for qualifications and work experience in an identified future growth area if you ALSO, already, have work or a job offer in New Zealand. You can claim for an area of absolute skills shortage without that, though.

    if you already have a job offer in NZ, then there's really no point in claiming the bonus points.

    Thanks JandM, ChrisMwn. I over estimated my points, now they are corrected.
