hi folks

We have just returned from n.z. Gained loads of tips & knowledge whilst there.
Question 1. don't know which visa to apply for? My husband is a skilled deisel mechanic. He has just secured a job in Wellington.I have read that you can apply for a work to residence visa. Is this a quicker route over expression of interest?
2. Having read the qualification guide. His qualifications are not recognised on the NZQA site. If we did choose the option of expression of interest. Do you still have to have the qualifications recognised? We would have over 100 points to qualify without the 50 points from qualifications.
Any valuable advice will be greatly received.
