Dear UB

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 2 February 2018 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

Referring to Visa fact sheet for post-study work employer-assisted Visa
([1]https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zeal...)

 

I request the answer of following questions under information act,

 

1) What is the decision process of granting Post Study Work Visa -
Employer Assisted, specifically for study's subjects relevancy criteria?

 

For Example, Adam has studied, let say Graduate Diploma, Level 7 with
subjects into marketing, strategies, consumer behavior and industry
project with the same company he has got the job offer from. However, the
job offer is for ICT Sales Assistant (ANZSCO 621211) in a
Telecommunication company, job duties as mentioned in ANZSCO.

On what decision model, the Work Visa - Employer Assisted, will be
approved or disapproved, taking single criteria of the relevancy of the
job with the studies into consideration and ignoring other criteria for
now?

 

2) As per the clause on the website of INZ, (Source:
[2]https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zeal...)

"If you have more than one acceptable qualification, your job can be
relevant to any one of them."

Assessed overseas qualification - level 7 can be considered as an
acceptable qualification?

If YES, then relevancy of job with the studies could be with either of two
(New Zealand level 7 qualification and Overseas assessed qualification
level 7) or both?

 

Asking above questions under information act, to know about immigration
officers eligiblity criteria specifically for studies relevancy with the
job. 

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding
your request feel free to contact us via email [3][MBIE request email] or
