Well our fears were confirmed today when I received notification that our EOI had not been accepted. As I don’t have a degree I can’t claim the points that go with the Absolute Skills Shortage and as I result our application points total fell under the required limit for being invited to apply. The immigration clerk was very nice in her email and said that given that I didn’t have a degree, getting a job offer was the way forward for us, so once we’re back from the States, all of our energies will be ploughed into that.
Whilst we’re disappointed, deep down we knew that this route was a long shot and that at some stage I’d need to get out there, this email just confirms that. How glad are we that we didn’t shell out £500+ on medicals as well! They’ll be needed at some stage, although they’d have been out of date (they’re only valid for 3 months) by the time we came round to apply again.
Disappointed but not undaunted. NZ here I come!
