Hello everyone,
So just a quick question or two
Me and my girlfriend (nz citizen) live in Germany ,we met in high school and I finished, she still has a year to go .
She has never lived in NZ ( citizen by descent ) , if I read the Immi website right does that mean that we get ' priority processing ' because she has been out of the country for more than 5 years ?
Now because we both lived together with our parents until recently , we need to wait till next year to apply.
I read on the forum that its sometimes better to first get the partnership based work visa before getting residence because they will already have recognised the partnership hence making it a smoother process once we go for residence so we can def move down there asap next year, with residence for me so we can start uni and enjoy NZ without filling out those forms ever again
I am aware of the extra costs but thats alright.
Now what do you guys think , I would appreciate some help , its such a maze and some helpfull insight would be great !
thanks everyone and have a good day !
