1. We are applying under the skilled migrant category. My husband (principal applicant) is an electronic engineer which is listed on the longterm skills list. To qualify for 'recognised work experience - G1' can one only include working in electronics or does previous role in computing also count? Or can one include this under G4 'years of work experience in an absolute skills shortage'
Can't answer this, but sure someone else can!
2. Has anyone seen any more info on defining A20 'what Industry is your main occupation in'? There is a list on online EOI but no guidance and its not clear which we should choose.
I would think you need to put your OH's current industry - or which he has had the most experience in or whatever fits as near as possible, if it is not right you can be sure that INZ will tell you so!
3. Taxation number - Where can one find this or is it not applicable to UK residents? I presume its separate to NI (social security) no.
I put our N.I numbers on our EOI and INZ didn't ask for anything further, so have assumed that was the correct answer!
4. This may seem a silly question but it's not obvious...
What option does one choose if English is your mother tongue?! The guidance notes don't seem to define this. We could tick study for a recognised qualification in English.
We chose other....... but then again neither of us have degrees etc.
Then in the comments box we added 'Completed all primary, secondary and further education in the UK, all of which were conducted entirely in English'. (We put something like that and again we were not asked for further information to confirm this.)
We have 135 points without job offers - do we stand a fair chance of being selected?
We had 140 points with job offers. I am sure you will be OK, the process is just abit speedier if you have an offer of employment.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Cheeky Kea

If all else fails you can email the skilled migrant administrator.......
skilledmigrantslondon@dol.govt.uk..................... it is certainly better and cheaper than trying to telephone them!
Good Luck!
