THANKS NESSIE & FORDY

You are being a great help. Yes we would be applying under the 'skilled migrant 'category as well and the form filling in certainly looks 'tedious'.
The medical bit I refer to is mentioned earlier on in this forum re; the new medicals that are taking place in April. They are saying that you are going to have to have alot more tests including internals etc after the age of 35 I think, and that its now going to cost twice as much money than it is now.
As for saving the EOI on line and editing it - my husband didnt think you could save it as well as edit it on line but now you've said this he'll take another look when he gets home from work tonight. If in the meantime you are able to give us further instructions I'd be very grateful. How long do you have once EOI has been accepted to get your application off to NZIS is it 3 months?
I agree with what SteveyC said about 'useful' info., ie; costs of immigration from UK to NZ would be extremely useful as like him I am learning new things each time I read this forum, not necessarily 'good' news but certainly really helpful.

Thanks everyone!
