It just gets better!
So, it turns out that we couldn't submit the ITA that we received as the qualifications didn't match up. So it turns out we have very few points - certainly not enough to get pulled out of the pool again. I'm over it!
To find out more information and to hopefully find some alternative, we went to London, to NZ house and had a chat with a nice immigration officer. He was really helpful, but said his hands were tied, but that we were good candidates to be immigrants to New Zealand. What we took away from the meeting was that we could simply go to NZ on a tourist visa and look for a job when we got there and then complete the visa process with a job offer and the glorious 50 points this would give us!
This, unbeleivably, is what we have decided to do! The flights are booked for the 24th October and we will be looking for a job pretty much from the moment we land! It is really exciting, but obviously very nerve-wracking, but we are both committed to the process and will do everything we can to secure a teaching job between us before Christmas...
Roll on October...
