Hi All,
I am a newbie to this forum and a long time silent observer. I applied EOI on 25th Nov 2015 from SG and received ITA on 3rd Dec 2015. For the mile stone which i reached till now, I should definitely thank everyone in this forum for writing down their valuable inputs regrading INZ. Especially our all time favorite Senior Member JandM,Karen and folks from SG (madjokr,nms.sun3,farfaraway,sjj)
Initially, when i started researching about SMC visa and my eligibility, i found my Master of Science (5 years integrated )degree in computer technology obtained from India is not in LTSSL, however from this forum i come to know about comparability assessment and Appendix B, Also in one of the post i found that we could request NZQA officer to assess our Master degree comparable to NZ bachelor degree, if our bachelor degree is not in the LTSSL list.
Keeping this information i collected all documents including master degree syllabus book from university and sent to NZQA with a cover letter requesting to assess my 5 years integrated master degree comparable to NZ bachelor degree which is listed in LTSSL column 4. And to my surprise the assessment was positive, My integrated degree was assessed as comparable to NZ Bachelor degree in computer science(Level 7) which enabled me to claim for bonus appoint under absolute skill shortage. FYI i have 6.5 years work experience in SG and 4 Years in India and my EOI got selected with 150 points (including 20 points for partner qualification)
Now I am collecting documents for ITA lodgement, Am sure this forum will guide me whenever i need help
Thank you all once again ....
