Oh that sucks about flights! Are you with Qantas FF? We are with Velocity /virgin and lucky there's business rewards seats from mid January onwards- fingers crossed they are still there when we come to book our flights!

That sucks - luckily I have flight benefits (pilot in the family), so I'm glad I don't have to worry about that. I've emailed KCC asking when to expect a 2NL so we shall see what they say.

Unfortunately the NZQA can no longer supply the original certificates, they told me in an email the stationary is no longer in production and are saying the official transcript is currently used in its place, I really appreciate everyone's efforts in this forum, it certainly helps when great minds get together
My University Entrance certificate came from the NZQA and I gained that back in 1982.
The Auckland consulate told me that was fine.

I havent had the need to contact them. Ummm, not sure what you are referring to?????
If you mean re the further paper work, no I didnt contact them and have assumed I wont hear anything more until my interview.
You must be counting down the days Matt.
When do you plan on departing Aus?

Mind you that is if/when I am granted residency. It aint in the bag yet as Im applying with work experience. I am just trying to stay positive.

I'm seeing some cheap fares from Bris to Lax mid December one way! $1299 with Hawaiian up to $1541 with Qantas . Not bad ! Though will likely skyrocket if you book last minute
Could always save your points for a trip home

That is strange, maybe because mine is a Sixth Form Certificate, not a University Entrance Certificate? I have contacted her again this morning regarding this, Thanks

Hey Matt,
Has the consulate or anyone mailed you any info as in forms etc since you received your 2NL notification?
You are attending the SYD consulate correct?
Hi EMS,
Yes I'm in Sydney. No the only email I recieved was from state gov telling me to check when my interview was.
Cheers,
Matt

Yeah yeah gotcha. No Matt I didnt bother. It seemed to be the general consensus on the forum that the Syd interviewees wont receive anything more.
I figured if more was to come you would have received something by now with your interview looming. For some reason people attending interviews in NZ are receiving further instructions in the mail.
Thanks for checking back.

This link might help, it explains the differencies between the different certificates and scoring details. It also contains the form to fill in to get a Certified Statement of National School Qualifications Results, which will surffice.

The university entrance cert is what you receive after completion of 7th form bursary. If you have completed up to 6th form you wouldn't have received it.

On airfares. I'm not sure about Aus flights but be sure to check day by day - last year we flew (from SA) to SFO leaving the night of the 25th Dec and fares were about 25% below those on the days either side, for obvious reasons. And, I need to do a week in the UK in Jan (from sfo) and luckily the days I need for some reason (leaving early Jan) were really cheap - I got a business class return for less than the usual business class one way, and again a couple of days either side would have changed the fares hugely. So it really is worth checking properly.
