Hi,
Good Morning everyone..
Can any of forum members clarify my query mentioned below?
I have applied for a SMC PR Visa without job and the case officer currently verifying the proofs. But now I got a job offer from New Zealand which I sent it to Case officer already.
My job joining date is 10th March 2013 so 1 month time I have to land in NZ.
Yester day I mailed to CO asking how much time will it take to get the PR as I forwarded the job and I asked her whether I need to apply for a separate work visa as the time is just 1 month?
CO replied me saying that they are currently verifying the documents and she can’t sure about getting PR in a month. She recommended to apply for a work visa to go to NZ before 10th march 2013. So my questions are
1. We are a family of 3 including 1 year old daughter. So do we need to file separate applications for all 3 or just 1 application for all the 3 people?
2. With work visa apart from me, will my wife and kid also get the visas?
3. Already I submitted medicals, POC et…while applying for SMC PR. So do I need to take those tests again will they coordinate with SMC PR team for these documents?
4. Typically how much time it will take for getting work visa?
Any help is appreciated!
