    Default Can I take over blue ticket from primary applicant?

    Due to family commitments we had to return to uk (me after 4 months husband 6) I am now able to return but he now has to stay longer than the extention on the visa allows. Can I return to NZ and complete our residence as we desperately want NZ to be our permanant home. Very worried as time is running out. Thank you for any help.

    Hello and welcome.

    What permit were you in NZ on? PR? What extension do you mean?
