Hello to everyone!!!
My residency application has been declined by Immigration by stating that as I am studying full time, therefore I have not demonstrated the ability to contribute and settle in NZ.

I am studying full time PHD. I am living in NZ for 3 years now. I have also done some part time skilled jobs as java developer. I have submitted my ITA in March 2011 with 120 Points without any job offer. After all the processing and interview, now my CO's decline my application stating that as I am studying full time and will be completing my studies at the end of next year, therefore I cannot be granted residence.

I know some of my colleagues who got residence while they were studying full time and even dunt have any job experience in NZ. Does someone has any idea or provide me some help what to do now?
I am really disappointed and dis hearted.
