Invitation To Apply (ITA), Medicals and Teacher Reg number

Well exactly as described by the London Branch of the NZIS timetable, one day shy of two weeks after the selection of the EOI, the ITA arrives on my doorstep. Or rather a thick C4 envelope I have to sign for arrives.

The ITA looks suspiciously identical to the EOI you submit but wuth a different title.

Common sense has prevailed, as an English speaker, educated in Britain, I don't have to prove English language ability.

More Photos are required along with the police checks, the medical certs etc etc etc.

The ITA take 4-6 weeks to process. EEEk- That is cutting it fine.

I had to go to the doctor today as some of my liver function figures were not great and one of the other tests showed abnormal but given my medical history, they are to be expected. The doctor has to produce a letter stating a prognosis and she has told me she is going to be honest but that honesty will actually help as one of my other blood tests shows that my medical condition is under tight control.

I now have a teacher registration number. I will e-mail my immigration contact and see if that satisfies his requirements.

I will also ask him the seemingly stupid question. As someone going for residence, I am assuming I can buy one way tickets not returns as in those getting tourist visas.
