Hello,
My husband, two children and I are coming out to NZ in October for six months. We are hoping to settle but want to spend a bit of time in the country before making our final decision. We are thinking that if we decide to try and settle my husband would seek employment (skill shortage profession) and apply for work to residence. In an ideal world we could do this within the six months without having to leave NZ. Without a job offer we have 135 points.
Our daughter has developmental delay. She is 4 now and if we were staying in Scotland she would be going to mainstream school with additional support. Could her difficulties mean we may not be granted a visa?
