Recalling the time when we checked our eligibility on the New Zealand Immigrations website and lodging our Expression of Interest (EOI) was daunting. It is one of our life's unforgettable moments which had changed our life. We had to provide documentary evidence to support the claims that we claimed under the Skilled Migrant Category. The cost of submitting our EOI was NZD300.00 then.
The minimum points to be eligible then was 100 and we claimed 110 based on the website. Should we have 140 points we would automatically be drawn into the pool for the next stage which was Invitation to Apply (ITA).We had to wait anxiously for our application to be drawn which took about 5 months.
