Info about visas for partner and kids

[legalimmigrant]

Hi all,
I have been in Auckland 4 months (I love it!) with a 30 months WTR visa. Now it's time to apply for visas for the rest of my family, my partner, my 5 year old boy and my 9 months old daughter.
They should move here at the end of August this year.
Could you please refer me to previous posts, or suggest me which Visas are available, cheaper or quicker or easier to obtain??
Thanks a lot in advance!

http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...milystream.htm This is the one for your partner.

Your 5-year-old will need a student visa. http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...y/application/ (You fill in the form as if you were him, and sign for him.) Your daughter will need a visitor's visa, as she is not yet of school age.

Thanks a lot, JandM, helpful as always! One more question in regard to INZ 1146 form I am filling in: my Work To Residence is considered a 'New Zealand residence class visa' or a 'New Zealand work visa'?? I am just a bit confused, I know is only a work Visa, but not sure if considered a Residence visa, give that the word 'residence' is in the name of my visa....Thanks!

It's a work visa.
