Hello. I am wondering about the order of the way I should be checking things off my list.
My NZ citizen boyfriend and I will be applying for the temporary work visa through partnership, during my next visit over which will be this January. I want to apply in person at the Auckland immigration office as soon as possible so I am looking to get all the documentation and forms done before I arrive so that within a few days of me being there, we can apply.
Here's my worry though, I plan on completing my medicals here in the U.S. But I remember reading somewhere that the medicals cannot be more than 30days old from the date the application is submitted? Is this correct? Does this leave me with a very small window to get my medicals completed and all blood work and x-rays results returned and then I have 30 days after being signed off to apply?
And also, if for some reason my application is denied, will I then need to pay to get another medical review and form completed before filing another application?
Im still really new to this whole process so I appreciate all the information provided and hopefully without you having to sigh exasperatedly to yourself and think "duh!".
