In my case, no questions asked when I applied 2 years ago.. But was required to submit INZ 1113 form. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/docu...es/inz1113.pdf.

When I applied online if I remember right, the process itself sent me a list of documents to provide.

"This form must be used for:
• Essential Skills work visa applicants; and
• Work to Residence: Long Term Skill Shortage List (LTSSL)
work visa applicants; and
• Post-study work visa (employer assisted) applicants; and
• Silver Fern Practical Experience work visa applicants; and
• Specific Purpose work visa applicants, where a job offer is
required; and
• Variation of Condition work visa applicants"

My visa is not in the list. Still applicable to my visa?

SM6 here https://www.immigration.govt.nz/opsm...c.htm?6954.htm has all the requirements for skilled employment. INZ will be checking with the employer to make sure that these requirements are all met. Broadly speaking, the job has to be skilled (definitions are given in the lists), and the employer themself has to be on a sound financial footing, with a record of working in line with NZ immigration and employment law.

I suggest you ask INZ themselves what they need from you. You aren't applying for a visa at this stage - you already have applied for residence under SMC, and count as having "deferred residence" (another name for the SMC JSV) until you fulfil the condition of proving you have the offer of a skilled job in NZ.
