Hello everybody :006:

Hopefully someone can enlighten me with some of their wisdom;

We are a newly married couple of 27 and 29, wishing to move to NZ, to join his parents and young brothers in NZ.
They got in almost 3 years ago on a business visa, and have just been granted PR. We are looking at going to NZ in Sept/ Oct on a WHV, and then start the whole immi proces with a job there.
My hubbie is in the IT, which helps, and I am a windowdresser. We already have done an assesment with a company, and they told us to start with the family sponsorship application from the day we get into NZ on the WHV . however the NZIS state on their website one can only apply for the family category if not able in the skilled migrants application.
The company said it would depend on if his degrees and such were rocognized by the NZQA.
How do we know this beforehand? He went to school in Zimbabwe.... but that doesnt say it won't be recognized.. With points he might have 115 ex joboffer, but is it worth it going through the whole process without knowing what recognition??

Its all so confusing, but we need to choose which visa before we go, because the family category can take up to 1 year....?
And since we want to save as much money as we can, we rather do the whole process without an immigration company..

thanks in advance
