Hello Folks,
I have a query regrading visa status... I and my wife are currently on resident visa, I am planning to go NZ by Jan 2014 end and my wife will join me later by April 2014. Considering and fulfilling all the mandatory conditions for PR (e.g. stay period of 180+ days every year for first 2 yr), I am likely to get PR first than my wife.
My question is, if one of the partner applicant gets PR, can we convert other applicants resident visa status into PR? or he/she has to fulfill all the necessary conditions before applying for PR irrespective of his/her's partners visa status?
