HI ALL,
Need an Information !!!!
I am working in Work to residency accreditation employer visa for the past 1 year and my visa expire on jan 2016. my salary is more than 90k so what i was thinking till now is to apply for indefinite pr visa after 2 years that is 1 year from now.But situation changed as my company has out sourced our jobs to a different company and now we are worried about our job security and since i can only work for my company as per visa condition i am more worried .
So now i am planning to apply for Definite PR under SMC visa next Month assuming i get my PR by dec 2014 .
My Question is
Can i still apply for my indefinite pr visa by August 2015 though if i have PR visa less than 8 months but my overall stay in NZ will be more than 2 years including time spend in Work to residency accreditation employer visa ??
The one year and 4 months which i spend in Work to residency visa will be considered for my indefinite pr when i am in PR Visa???
Will Work to residency visa will be considered as resident visa ??
Many thanks
