LTSSL Requirement Specifications
As per instruction WR3.1 (a), to be granted a visa under the Long Term Skill
Shortage List Work Instructions applicant must hold an offer of employment in
an occupation that is included on the Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL) at
the time that their application is made and that meets the specifications for that
occupation. In your application, the position you are offered with is claimed as
web developer at XXX Company, which occupation is included in Appendix 4-
Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL) of the instructions. However, after
checking all the evidence you provided, it seems at current stage you do not
meet the requirement specifications listed for that occupation (see Appendix 4).
n Firstly, according to our data base and information you provided, the
qualification you hold is Graduate Diploma in Information Technology Level
7. Accordingly, in LTSSL, it is required that for a qualification at NZQF Level
7 or higher, a letter from IPENZ certifying that the degree and any further
learning meet the benchmark requirements towards Chartered Professional
Engineer professional status in New Zealand is needed, which is not included
in your application.
n Secondly, a minimum of three years' relevant post-qualification work
experience is required in LTSSL. However, according to the evidence you
provided, including the application form, employment agreement and
income tax records, it is found you only worked at this employment since 21
November 2016, which means your post-qualification work experience was
only 8 months when you submitted current application, given that your
qualification of Graduate Diploma in Information Technology Level 7 was
granted in Nov 2016. Therefore, it seems you do not meet the work
experience requirements set out in LTSSL at this stage.
