Hi All,
My husband went job hunting in New Zealand and obtained a good job offer from an accredited employer. He has put in his application for a work to residence visa (talent-accredited employer) and we fully expect that to come through with no issues. The original plan for the children and I was for us to come down (we fly out Monday) and have a look around on a visa waiver (we are from the US) and then for us to come home and complete selling our house etc. We would also go ahead and apply for a our partner/student visas while I supervised the work that needed to happen on our house.
I got an unexpected offer on our house yesterday and it looks possible that I won't have to return if this sale goes through. If we are able to come to terms with the buyer while I am visiting in New Zealand can I apply during my trip for my visa? Or do I have to fly back home (which I won't have anymore!) no matter what?
We have no health issues or character issues, so as far as I can tell, this should be a straightforward process. But if I don't have to come home, I don't want to since I would greatly prefer to be with my partner. Plus save a small fortune in airplane tickets.
Thanks everyone!
