They asked very deep. About future course and job role and also why especially NZ not other countries. I said almost everything but I think I didn't gave as for my expectations.

Saikiran96

And also i was so nervous bcoz the call got disconnected during interview and they call back after 4mins

JoRoAn03

No worries., hope for the best. I think you will get a positive response.

Saikiran96

Hope so...😐

Hi Sai, Could you plz share some of the questions......

What is the approximate duration of your interview ?

Saikiran96

They took almost 12mins for interview and the questions depends on case officer and our profile, questions for me are, tell me about your course, why new Zealand, and what is your last sem subjects, why not india, what are the future benefits by this course, what are your plans after the course, how can u manage the tuition fee and living expenses.

Hello SaiKiran, Joy112233, and JoRoAn3, what is the status of your Visa?

JoRoAn03

Hi
As per INZ my application is with case officer from 15 April. But still no update or interview call.

Looks like case officers are sleeping on top of  our files.

Saikiran96

Haha nice one@ joRoAno3, @vijay even iam waiting from past 10days but no decision, my file was allocated on 8th april got interview call on 25th april and not decision yet...It's frustrating.

Hi guys

Could anyone tell
post Graduate Diploma in applied information technology Level 8 ,is this course comes under Long terms Skill shortage list?

If it is then my spouse will get work visa

Because INZ says for support partner work visa  on level 8 study course must be in LONG TERMS  SKILLS SHORTAGE LIST

nikhilverma15

Hi Daman,

If you have applied through the agent, then the only way is to call Immigration NZ.

Because they only reply on e-mail ID registered at the time of application.

Hi Sai & Vijay -- Have you got any update on your VISA ??

Saikiran96

Still no update
