So I'm wondering whether that calculator has taken the April 2010 rule changes in to account?
Who do i need to phone in order to clarify. Can i just phone DIA? (or even drop in as I work near them?).
You can call the Citizenship by grant number on 0800 22 51 51. I've found them to be really helpful as I've called them a few times to clarify some things. I always call more than once with the same question to make sure I'm getting the correct information.
I've also been to the walk-in Auckland office and found them helpful there too. I don't know anything about the Wellington office though, but if they're anything like the Auckland office, you should be fine to just go in.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
Jen
