Hi there.
We recently received ITA to apply for resident visa for my parents whom I'm sponsoring.
I heard from an immigration officer that my parents would need to hold the resident visa for 5 years(after granted) before they can apply for permanent resident visa. I thought they could apply for PR after holding resident visa for two years..?
I also heard that the amount of days spent in NZ is not so important in first 3 years but the last 2 years of 5 years is what the immigration case officer will look at the most. is this the case?
Thank you.
