Hi guys, I am in NZ for some months and actually I have a sponsored working visa in hospitality (kitchenhand) and will apply a partnership visa for my wife.
I could not apply for residence because I have not yet the sufficient english level.
My area of work is with IT, but hospitality was the only chance to get a work visa quickly, so I would like to know from you:
1. Having a work visa will be easier to get a job in IT than when I had a visitor visa?
2. Is there any minimum time that I need to stay in this job before ask for change? I have been told that was 3 months.
3. The process for changing the category of visa is so complicated?
4. Is an option to apply a separated work visa instead of a partner for my wife? So I could after apply partner for me and get an open visa?
Please guys, help me with what is the better choice.
I will start an IELTS course soon, and in 6 months I intend to be ready to make the IELTS test and reach the requirements for apply an EOI.
Thank you!
Cheers
