Notice, please, nobody here can
advise you, as in, tell you what you ought to do - it is against NZ law to advise anyone on immigration matters unless they are a licensed immigration adviser. All that an ordinary person can do is share experience. If that would help, you can send me a Private Message - you will need to make five posts on any thread, then the forum will automatically switch on your ability to PM. Then you click on anyone's username over one of their posts, and PMing will be one of the options in the drop-down box.
