I'm a US citizen, and I have been offered a job that starts in July, and I'm just now starting on the work visa application. I think I'm pretty clear on what I need to do -- temporary work visa application, general medical certificate, and chest x-rays. What I'm unclear on is what I need to do for my family. My wife doesn't plan on working in NZ, and we have a 1-year-old son.
Is it true that, of the three of us, only I need to apply for a work visa?
It it true that my wife and son need to fill out INZ-1146 "Partners Supporting Partnership-Based Temporary Entry Applications?" (Family Stream)
Is it true that neither my wife nor my son need to do the General Medical Certificate and Chest x-rays?
Is it true that neither my wife not my son need to submit passport photos?
Is it true that I can submit all three applications at once, before actually holding a work visa?
Many thanks!
