Hi I am in a situation where I need some visa advise since a lot of immigration advisers are asking for a fee for some advise.
I just got my postgraduate diploma in science and I am currently on a post-study work visa (open). I am having a hard time looking for work regarding my field and my visa expires on August 2018. Part of the condition of the post-study work visa (employers assisted) is that my work has to be related to field, even a little. But as I said it's been 4 months and I still dont have a job. I am currently dating a New Zealand citizen for 1 year and 5 months now and I am moving in with him on January 2018. By the time my visa expires, we would have been living together for 6-7 months (I want to apply early) and dating for 2 years.
Now my main question is, should I keep looking for a job related to my field (is there anybody hiring) and go through the post study work visa (employers assisted) route or should I take the chance and apply for the partnership based work visa even though we havent lived together for a year?
Thank you to whoever can help me.
