    Thanks a lot Chris, my job offer is outside Auckland. I have checked the points calculator and I am getting 160 points.

    Notice, a mistake that people sometimes make is to think they can claim bonus points for Area of Absolute Skills Shortage AND Identified Future Growth Area, but that is not the case. It's AASS if the person has no NZ job offer, and IFGA if they do have a NZ job offer.
