Hi all - first I want to say thank you so much for this forum, it is so informative!!! :-)
I am hoping that someone can help me - here is the situation...
I went to NZ in August 2008 on a special visa I got through a gap year/ OE company then got a WHV so I could stay in NZ another year. I left NZ in November 2010 when my visa expired, and I'm now back in the UK.
I have left a boyfriend in NZ (he's a kiwi) and I'm looking at going back over there. We have been together since October 2009 but what makes it difficult is that we have never lived together and I know that for residency you need to have done for 12 months. Are we potentially eligible for a work visa for me supported by him?
I have asked immigration and been given different answers - it's frustrating!!!
Thank you so much everyone!! :-)
