For every person on the application, you will need to provide:

  • two recent passport-size photos
  • a valid passport or certificate of identity
  • a completed medical and chest X-ray certificate
  • a police certificate, and
  • a full birth certificate.

5. Full assessment
  Once we receive your application and documents, we start assessing you for residence. We make sure that you meet all our requirements, and that your points claims are valid.
  We will also assess you on your ability to settle in New Zealand successfully. We may consider you able based on your application, or we may wish to interview you.

6. Resident visas and Job Search visas
  If you meet our criteria, and we believe you will settle successfully and contribute to New Zealand, we will offer you a resident visa.
  If we think you have potential, but want to see how you settle, we will give you a job search visa, which you can use to help obtain an offer of skilled employment in New Zealand for up to nine months. If you obtain skilled employment in this time you will have shown your ability to settle and contribute, and your residence application will be approved.
  Please remember that an SMC Job Search visa is an opportunity to seek skilled employment in New Zealand. It is not a guarantee of work, a job offer, or of residence. Immigration New Zealand advises against the sale of assets, the termination of children’s schooling, and the shipping of household items to New Zealand until an applicant’s residence status is fully approved.

  以下是我整理出的新西兰技术移民流程全过程,新西兰技术移民申请十大审理步骤:

1、Requirements(自我评估)

  申请人在递交EOI之前可先行自我评估,基本分数线是100分,详情请查阅《新西兰技术移民指南04-核心: 移民评分系统》。

2、Expression of Interest(EOI, 移民意向)

  如果自行评估达到了申请新西兰技术移民的评分要求,可以正式向移民局提交EOI,EOI是一个评估表格,提交时需要支付申请费用。EOI的提交,一般是在移民局网站上通过网上在线提交,收费方式为信用卡网上支付$440NZD;其次也可以填写纸质表格递交申请[EOI申请表INZ1100(Jul 2012)] [EOI申请指南INZ1101(Apr 2014)],费用是$560NZD,你可以选择邮寄或前台支付[查询移民局办公地址],此为人工处理,所以费用比网上提交要稍高,处理速度相对也较慢。[引用来源]

  所有在网上提交EOI申请的人,必须先注册一个账户,此后可以通过登陆账户中心,查询跟踪审理状态变化。

  EOI的选取为每两周进行一次。其中140分以上的申请将会被自动选入,100分到140分之间的申请将根据 “5类选举排序” 原则,由高至低选出。

  没有被选中的申请人将会继续留在候选池(EOI Pool)里等待下一次的选取机会,六个月内都有没被选中的申请,申请将会自动作废,申请人可以向移民局再次递交新的EOI申请,等待选取机会,当然再次提交EOI申请,需要重新缴一次费。

3、Decision Successful(DS, 成功入选)

  当EOI被选中后,申请状态变为Decision Successful。移民局每两周从候选池(EOI Pool)里面的按照设定的标准进行抽取来自全球的申请人提交的EOI,然后移民局按照申请人所在的地理位置安排相关Branch Office的EO(EOI Officer)进行评估和开展相关的调查,主要调查申请人相关情况的真实性等等,如果EO在基于对申请者的情况判断认为申请人有资格提交其移民申请后,会下邀请信ITA(Invitation to Apply) 给申请者,同时申请者EOI的状态会更新为DS。

  这里值得一提的是,从EOI选中到下发邀请信ITA,中间存在等待期。等待期的时间长短,主要取决于自己所在的Branch,积压的Case的多少,以及申请人自身的条件。一般的处理速度不超过3个月,最快有1-2周会下ITA邀请信,但是有30%左右的申请人会经历漫长又痛苦的等待期,有时会超过半年,通常是因为申请人持有一份Job Offer,这会面临一个初步的调查(Initial Verification)。这个调查工作主要是由VO(Verification Officer)来做,VO的初步调查有可能是电话调查,也有可能是上门调查,主要是查工作的真实性。查完了以后需要1-2周来写报告,只有在EO收到VO的Preliminary Assessment Report(PAR, 初步调查报告)以后,才会发出ITA,一般在EO收到PAR后,2-3周即会有结果,当然,中途EO也有可能会让你进一步补充材料(如上文中setp 2)。如果中间耗时超过正常审理速度(>3个月),申请人可以与EO联系询问进度。
