I submitted my application on Jan 4, 2010 and when I check my application online its says approved.So i have a 1 year work visa now. This are the following evidence that I sent.
2 months worth of Bank Statement
3 months worth of phone bill
Joint life and car insurance
Letters with my name and address on it
Original marriage certificate
Scrapbook of our relationship
Pictures from the start of our relationship and current.
Random receipts
Letters from my wife's parents and sisters that we live together on their house
2 letters from our friend in nz for good character reference
We started our relation 2009,then my wife migrated to Nz on 2010. We continue our relationship even were distant and on May 2016 we got married. We applied for a partnership visa but the INZ gave us a 9 months visit visa and we arrive in NZ on August 2016 and got our work visa now. Thank you for this forum especially to JandM,you're a very big help to us.
