SMC - Adding Secondary Applicant

[Blockshear]

Hi guys,

My wife and I lodged our residency application last August 2014 (Shanghai Branch) with me being the primary applicant. Two months after submitting our application my wife gave birth to our first child and now we want to include him in our application.

However, I am not quite sure at this stage how to do this.

Thanks in advance to those who will share their advice!

Congratulations on your new family member!

Once you have got a birth certificate and a passport for him, if you notify INZ, they will just add him onto your application.

Hi, I am in the similar situation.

My wife gave birth two months ago, in that time my application was in IPB office, and still is.

You will need to send following

The original or certified copy of his Birth Certificate and Passport,
A completed INZ1001 form (Additional Dependants for Residence in New Zealand)
A completed general medical form, INZ 1007 meds,

Children
• All children including babies must have an immigration medical examination.
• Children under 11 years of age do not need a chest X-ray unless the physician declares it is necessary or one is requested by Immigration New Zealand.
• Children under 15 years of age do not need a blood test unless the physician declares it is necessary or one is requested by Immigration New Zealand.

Of course, you should inform your CO if you have one, otherwise just inform any person there in Shanghai Branch and he/she will add this information to your application to notify future case officer once it has been allocated.
