Hi,
Hopefully some of you can help me.
I was granted a Residence Visa though my partnership with my NZ girlfriend and I will be meeting the criteria of spending more than 183 days in NZ per year for 2 years. When I apply for PR when the Residence VISA expires I will be in NZ.
I want to apply for my PR but the partnership has changed. Although we are still in a kind of relationship she has moved to Australia to study and as such the relationship has dissolved somewhat and become a solid friendship will less commitment, although neither of us are seeing anyone else and we remain in touch almost daily.
As our relationship has changed and less committed and stable that it was when I applied am I correct to assume that this will not affect my PR application? It's seems that on the PR application form a continued partnership is not one of the criteria to attain PR. If I completed the form as being single without putting her details on it, including her passport photos, passport details etc, would I still get PR?
Secondly, the form has a declaration about convictions, being charged with or investigated for any offences committed (including traffic or driving offences)
I have not been convicted, charged or investigated as per the dictionary definitions of these words, however I have received 2 infringement notices for minor driving offences.
One was for speeding which was a fine and 20 demerit points and the other more recently a fine of $150 (no demerits) for overtaking on a flush median on my motor cycle.
Do I need to declare these offences and would they jeopardise and prevent me from getting my PR?
Many thanks
Ian
