    Default Dependent of a study visa can apply under SMC with job offer if qualified

    Hi all,

    I'm checking this for my friend and hope can get your advice to her.

    My friend is going to study for a master degree in NZ with a student visa and she is going to bring her family along. Her husband works in IT field and he is hoping to get a dependent work visa while she is studying. If he's lucky and can get a job, with his IT qualification, work experience and job offer, can he then apply for residency under the Skilled Migrant Category?

    Thanks,

    If he meets the requirements for SMC shown on the INZ website, yes. People who are in NZ legally (on any kind of visa) can apply for a different visa in their own right.
