Hello
I am very new to the forum and this is my first post.
First of all thank you for running this forum, I have been getting very helpful information since I found here last night and encouraged by knowing I'm not the only one who is going through this long tunnel.
As I searched the forum I couldn't find any topics similar to my case so I would like to have some advice from you.
Now I'm in NZ under work permit (partnership) which is valid until May 2011. Unfortunately relationship with my Kiwi partner didn't go well for several reasons so we made this decision to end it after I came to NZ. We have a 8 y.o. son here and sharing responsibility on him.
Now that I can't apply for PR under partnership, and researched other options to stay with my son. As a result I'm feeling the best way is to find a job first and get a work visa, then apply for PR under Skilled Migrant Policy. (I have not had good luck yet though )
Here is my question:
If INZ finds out I'm not with my partner somehow (they will see it anyway when I state my partnership status as 'Divorced' when applying for PR), does it affect on my current visa and/or approving PR?
Even if we believed the relationship was genuine and stable something unexpected happens between couples sometime...
It would be appreciated if someone who had a similar experience could share the story.
Thanks heaps
