Hi everyone,
I'd like to ask for your advice please.
I am a NZ citizen by grant and I have a partner who is a Philippine citizen. I am currently in the Philippines, been here for 3mos now. We just had our baby 2 months ago and she was born in the Philippines, I have made some research and found out that I can apply my daughter a NZ citizen by descent. So this was a relief for us...
However, we are still figuring out what is the best visa to apply for my partner.
She has been in NZ last year for 2 mos with visitor visa, I wasn't able to sponsor her (thru partnership) as we didn't have enough evidence to provide. Now, we're planning to apply for her visa - but we don't think we'd pass the requirements for work or residence visa under partnership as we've only been living together for 3mos.
What visa do you think we should apply for her?
If we apply for another visitor visa (now under partnership), do I need to be in NZ to sponsor her?
She currently doesn't work to take care of our baby.
Thank you!!
