our story so far ,
we decided at christmas that we were going to try to emmigrate to nz ,always talked about it for years and years ,so we got online filled in the EOI ,no problems ,got the ITA ,again no major problems ,medicals done in a hurry for the april deadline ,then the wait ...finally we get the e mail before we can have our telephone interview dave needs to have his provisional licence from electrical workers board ,we had already been in contact with them and had sent daves notarised qualificatons weeks before , so its just a case of waiting for there reply then interview time .
we finally hear from EWRB ,daves qualifications are fine ,but they need confirmation that he has done x amount of work ,with x amount of cables etc etc .
we have no way of getting this ,where he did his apprenticeship 20 years ago is no more ,where he has worked for the past 18 years as a service technician isnt what they need.
so we talked to the man explaining our prediciment ,dave said he still has log books ,so we copied these books [100's of pages] and sent them .
a few weeks later a letter arrives with an application for his provisional licence as a line mechanic ....whats a line mechanic ? dave isnt one ,wasn't sure if he could get the jobs he wanted with this license.
so back on the phone ,asks about this ,the licence is withdrawn ,great !!! now what can we do .
phone again thurs evening ,man is off ill .....
so we have sent lots of e mails ,have to talk to him monday now .
dave doesnt want to to go his present boss and ask him to write a letter ,as dave is planning to still work there for the next 5 months and really doesnt have the information that is needed.
so any of you kind folks have any ideas what else we can do ?
