Hi Everyone.
This is my first post Thanks in advance for any comments/advice
My partner is currently in NZ on a 9 month Limited Visa, returning to her home country in a months time. I met her during her stay here. I am a NZ citizen, and I am looking at sponsoring her to return to NZ on a temporary Work or Visitor Visa early next year. The plan is that I will spend some time with her in her home country before she comes back to NZ. I have a couple of questions here:
1. If her application is successful, will a Work or Visitor Visa duration be affected by a previous 9 month Limited Visa, if that Limited Visa was used within 12 months of the new Work or Visitor Visa application?
2. Would a previous 9 month Limited Visa have any affect on the assessment of future Work or Visitor Visa applications?
Thanks again, really appreciate any comments or thoughts on this.
