Do you have a degree?
I have a similar problem, in that my degree is in electronics, and thus can't be a software engineer according to NZIS.
However, it IS related and I have claimed points for an electronic degree being on the qualification long term shortage list AND experience as a softie.
I know a few people without degrees or degrees completely unrelated (ie. business) have had their point stripped.
A bit sneaky, but I contacted a couple of emigration agencies, and picked their brains on the pretence that I was going to use them to submit our EOI ...
Sorry I can't be of any more help, and wish you all the luck,
Lou
