I was an offshore applicant of SMC since last year. I came to New Zealand this year and finished my interview with my Case Officer 1.5 months ago holding Visitor's visa. After that, around 3 weeks ago, I got my Open Work Visa approved (as a partner). Currently, I have a job offer with the title exactly same as the occupation in my SMC application. It's a long term contract. No termination date mentioned in the contract. But, there is a trial period for 3 months.
I don't know what stage my application is currently in, maybe 2pc? or maybe still in the CO stage. My questions are:
1. Can this offer (with trial period) help me to get the RV?
2. Should I update it to my CO now, or after I get my 9 months job search visa?
3. If I update it to INZ, will it slow down the processing procedure? Like to take more time in investigating the company, etc. Or even affect my application negatively?
4. Shall there be any questionnaire or further check with the company to take more time, if I update it now or if I update after I hold the job search visa?
Thanks very much!
