[Andy8713]

Hi, im currently in skilled emloyement and have 130 points. Is there any chance I can get select?
Or should i get more points before lodge?
Thanks

with 100 points and a job offer you will be selected. Don't claim more points than you need to be slected

[Andy8713]

thanks ChrisMwn for boosting my confidence to apply.
Just another question might be stupid but when ppl say 100 point with job offer which means that 100 points include the 50 points of job offer right
Thanks again

thank you,
I can include my wife and my kids right? But my kids don't have passport number yet, one is 3 and the other 1.5, can i leave it blank or edit later.
I just wanna lodge as soon as possible cause I know it will take long time to get selected and then ITA ect...

So would it be oki if I lodge now without my kids passport number? thanks

Selections are held fortnightly on on Wednesday, with the last one being yesterday 6 July. So if you have your EOI lodged by noon NZ Time on 20 July and have 100+ points and a job offer you will be selected. ITA's are normally issued within 2-4 weeks and you then have 4 months from date of issue of ITA to lodge your application. You children would not need passports until application is ready to be finalised and visas issued.
