Hi all,
I'm so confused as to what could be next....
We lodged our SMC application in this May with bonus points for Long Term Skill Shortage List. Meanwhile husband was lucky to grab a seat from Silver Fern visa and currently in NZ (since August) and doing a skilled job in the same category which we got bonus points for SMC.
We already informed immi NZ about the job offer and we got a case officer in early September. He said if there's no problem it'll take around 2 to 3 months to complete the process.
My concerns...
At the moment I'm around 4 n half months pregnant and I'm pretty confused about what next as baby will be born once residency granted to us.
- I know we cannot include an unborn in application but not clear about the process of getting approval to take the baby with me when we are reuniting in NZ.
- If we get visa before what ever "x" number of months that Air lines usually allow pregnant women, what kind of cost will go for medical stuff if delivering the baby in NZ.
I'm ok with any option with minimal hassle.. in terms of paper work.
Really appreciate your advices and guidance
Nena
