Renewing Partnership Visa

[SunAndMoon]

Hello Everyone,

My partner's partnership work visa (temporary) was approved in June. Now, we are compiling application for for visa renewal. I was wondering if we are supposed to submit old evidence that we had submitted with the past application with our new application?

I am confused.

Thanks

Yes. Your new application will probably not go to the same CO, and maybe not even the same office, as the last one. It is much easier for the new CO to look at papers on their desk than to have to try to access what may have been scanned into the computer last time. If you have to send copies, and/or if not all your evidence was returned, put in a note to say "originals with successful application for x visa, at y office on x date" so they can make the connection if they HAVE to.

Thank you so much as always. I appreciate your response.

I have another query. In the office finder, we saw that my student visa application (paper) is to go to Palmy and his partnership visa application is to go to office in Auckland. I was wondering if it would be better for me to apply online for my student visa (as it is easier to apply online) since our applications will go separate ways anyways.

Thank you

First part - I replied to your question elsewhere.

Second part - you could have waited to see if the residence visa would come through in time. (INZ can issue an interim visa to keep an applicant legal during processing of an application for any temporary visa, as long as they have applied while the old visa was still valid, so someone in your situation could apply for another work visa in the last few days, if residence had not arrived yet.) But there is no problem with doing what you have done.
