Hello friends
I have series of questions on my child's residence application through dependent child category. Let me explain my scenario before I could post my queries.
We are family of four (Myself, wife and two daughters). Myself, my wife and elder one got residence visa stamped in our passports in the month of Dec 2015 before my wife gives birth to the younger one. We are blessed with second girl baby by end of Dec 2015. We informed to CO about new family member, her residence visa approach and he asked us to submit INZ 1000 application, once principal applicant (myself) activates the visa. Then I moved to NZ in Feb 2016 and right now, looking for job here. Still my family is in my native country. Since I activated my visa, think I can go ahead in submitting visa application now.
Now, my queries pls
1. Though CO informed to submit INZ 1000, am not sure about the category which I need to apply for. I guess, it should be dependent child category.
2. Who should be the principal applicant? Should it be me and then add my daughter in dependent child section or my daughter should be the principal applicant?
3. Where can I submit my application, either in NZ or my native or directly send to CO?
4. How long does it takes(in general for this category) to get visa stamped once we submit the application?
5. Any other difficulties I may face?
Thanks and regards
