Need advice from someone who may have gone through the same.
I have the chance of a good job - interview this Sunday. If I get it (pretty hopeful) then it would mean me moving to NZ and leaving OH behind to look after his mum. He will join me once she has gone. However that could be a few years. I have 2 options for visa's - either SMC or WTR. SMC is permanent - I think I will have either 135 or 140 points with a job offer so stand a good chance of getting selected etc... However I would have to put OH on it and he might not join me within 2 years so his PR would expire before he's even lived in the country. If I got WTR I could get him one so he can come and visit whenever and then after 30 months apply for residency - however the problem with applying for residency after I've been in the country for a couple of years is proving my relationship with OH. Normally you have to prove you have been living in a stable relationship for 12 months but if we are living apart (but still together as a couple) how can I prove we are still in a stable relationship?
Don't want to go if there is no option for a visa for him after say 3 years. Any suggestions? I would ring NZ House but they a=charge £1 a minute and I've lost the direct line number for immigration from when we emmigrated before
