Hi, I am a Zealand citizen with a partner from the UK, She has been on a work visa and since we have been living together for 16 months she was going to apply for residency under partnership grounds. However her consultant said that would take too long and she should apply for an extension to her work visa and then apply for residency under partnership. Unfortunately her extension has been declined as they say a New Zealander can do the job she has been doing for over 2 years. Can anyone advise us as to what her next step would be?
Many thanks!
