Many thanks Motherbear.
yes I have a skill on Long term shortage list namely Fitter/Turner and
have been offered a job with an accredited employer. I am not sure if it was a criminal offence or just repatriation (deportation) as it was a long time ago, all I know is my mate who jumped ship with me has been back in NZ for 25 years and is now a citizen.
I will email INZ to ask the question, as live near London would that be the office that would deal with my application? if so does anyone know what email address I should use to get to the right person/advice?
Cant wait to get to NZ now but not looking forward to the paperwork.
