Hi all,
My husband is NZ citizen and I was holding a general visitor's visa. We are married and lived together for 9 months last year. During that period we lodged partnership visa application twice, one on our own and the second with LIA. Both are rejected so I left NZ and re-applied offshore (offshore apllication still with LIA). I was granted a visitor's visa based on partnership with 1 year validity. After 3 months separation with my husband, we were re-united.
Now that I'm back in NZ couple weeks ago, next plan is to convert my visitor visa to work visa. Due to financial issue, we want to do it again on our own and we want to be successful.
I have the following queries:
1. Do we need to wait another 3 months before we could lodge apllication for work visa based on partnership?
2. Do we need new letters recognizing our relationship or use the same? We submitted 15 previously.
Any other advice, suggestions are highly appreciated.
