    TIPS:

    1. Be prepared for all the above questions...
    2. Do research and prepare your own notes..
    3. Prepare excel sheets of whatever you have done for your Job, expenses etc... Before the interview. I have sent her an e-mail with 8 excel sheets with details of the Jobs I applied, recruiters list, expected expenses list, My wife career plan in NZ, Jobs she applied, Inquiries we made for kindergartens and their replies.. etc etc
    4. Be honest throughout the interview.. Be ready to provide the evidences for everything you are mentioning..

    6. Be confident..
    7. Keep all your notes handy.. Keep your EOI open..
    8. Know some companies of your field in NZ, should know names of friends and contacts. should know recruiters in your field.
    9. Keep on applying on the relevant jobs.. keep all the evidences..
    10. Know everything about your partner..
    11. Say some facts.. like according to this research.. NZ is the 4th Safest country, HDI is 0.93... Second in Quality of life etc etc..
    12. During my interview.. I took opportunities in many of the questions to say more than expected as I have to ensure that what ever I have prepared should not go unnoticed. But ofcourse it should make relevance to the question..
    13. preparation is the key..
