Hey there,
My partner will be applying for a 6 months student visa in NZ to get better at English and getting IELTS exams.
After that we want to apply for Partner-based Residency visa (I'm on my Residency already).
Would she be able to say in NZ while her Visa gets approved (in case she applies, say, 3 months in her study) or does she have to leave the country first and then apply for Residency?
Thank you!
