Partner's recognised qualification for bunos points

[jayar]

Hi guys! I am a bit confused with this statement below. My partner got an IQA Level 6 assessed last Feb 2015. He graduated from his Bachelors Degree last 2006. Does he qualify for 20 points based on this statement? Sorry I am really confused

c. Despite (a), if a partner of a principal applicant holds a recognised New Zealand qualification at
levels three, four, five, and six on the NZQF, they will be eligible for 20 points if:
i. the qualification would have met the requirements for the award of points under the Skilled
Migrant Category that was in effect on 24 July 2011; and
ii. the qualification was completed before 25 July 2011 or they had commenced a course of
study, resulting in the qualification for which they are claiming points, on 24 July 2011.

Sorry I'm just rushing out for some errands, based on above 2 points yes your partner can claim points.

Hi Sun777 thanks for that prompt reply! Did you just mean 20 points from your previous reply? thanks

[JandM]

Yes.

Hi jayar,
Please confirm from where your partner earned the qualification in question. I think the policy wordings mentions recognised New Zealand qualification, that means qualification gained in NZ only. Members, please correct me if I am wrong.

Also if you could confirm did you get ITA yet? And how much actually you claimed the bonus points against partners qualification.

[JandM]

Yes, that paragraph quoted in the first reply applies ONLY if the partner's qualification was a recognized New Zealand one that meets the requirements at i and ii.

Hi JandM,

Sorry I am new here. The qualfication of my spouse has been recognized by NZQA as level -6 and she has completed her qualification before 25th July 2011 but her qualification not in New Zealand. So Can we claim bonus point 20 for my partner?

[JandM]

See the whole regulation here. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/opsmanual/42640.htm Based on what you have said, your partner's qualification will count for 10 points on your EOI.

Hi Monu, Yes I got an ITA and already lodged our application. The CO only gave 10 points for my partner's qualification since the degree was gained outside New Zealand. But later i submitted an appeal to NZQA and the result is fortunately revised into Level 7.

JandM thank you so much for the advised last time. we really appreciate😃
