Hey guys
I am in a bit of a tough situation. I am currently on a ESV( low skilled) in a grocery store in Auckland. My visa expires on 2nd March, 2021.
I have been offered a job near Hamilton as chilled/frozen manager on 22 bucks an hour at fresh choice( supermarket). As we all know, currently immigration isn’t processing ESV because of the lockdown.
As far as I know, I can’t do VOC on my current visa as my job is not on that skill shortage list plus I be changing employer, job location and job role.
So that mean I would have to apply for new ESV, but like I have around 10 months left on my current visa so when I get the new visa, would the duration of the visa be the same as its now, I mean would it still expire on 2nd March, 2021?
I am on low skilled ESV 2nd year, so if I get the new visa would they still consider it as my 2nd year on low skilled visa?
Also I can’t provide SMC report because work and income is shut, so what may happen if I submit my file without the report?
My position is chilled/frozen manager/buyer and pay rate is 22 bucks an hour so based on pay rate I do quality for 3 year visa however not sure about my position, has anyone got a 3 year visa working as a department manager in a supermarket?
I don’t want to miss on this, because the job offer is really good. But my boss won’t wait for me longer than a month or month and a half.
Any help would be appreciated guys.
Thanks
