Hello,
I apologise as I'm sure this has been asked loads of times. I did search, but was unable to find exactly the same scenario as mine.
So I have just re-submitted my residence application (was sent back due to not having full birth certificate, only shortened version).
Due to the time it took to get the birth certificate, and an additional medical, I now only have just over a month before my Work Visa (2nd year of Partnership) expires.
After looking at the immigration website for a few hours, it failed to advise me on the best course of action. Link after link sent me in circles!
I was just wondering what my best / only options are?
I think it's a Work visa, but from what I read it sounds quite a hard process. I'm employed as part of a small family run horticulture business and my employers are pretty old and computer illiterate (dont own a computer).
Did I read it correctly that they would have to prove that they are unable to find any NZ national suitable for the role? Plus some other things?
I dont think I could ask such a thing from them as they're over 60, and work 7 days a week as it is.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
