Hi, my 30 year old fiancee is currently in NZ on a USA working holiday visa which is due to expire soon eek! We are going to apply for the Partner of a NZ Resident Work Visa once she has her medical done. But we're not sure which medical certificate she needs?! All the wording confuses us but it looks like she needs the xray and limited medical certificate? someone please confirm! lol
I am a NZ citizen. We were in a long distance relationship for 2+ years (started dating 26th August 2015) and have been living together since she arrived in NZ on the 31st of December 2017. Will they count this as us living together for 12 months at the time of application?! or not since it will be like 11.5 months? this is the reason why we're applying for this visa instead of the resident one so we have more time living together cause we didn't wanna be declined for it being 11.5 months lol.
We're going to book her medical for next week and then apply for the visa, I'm currently gathering all the other info they need. She currently has a full time job and they are hassling her about her next visa and the "extension?" when her current WHV expires if they haven't approved the next work visa by then.. she will get the extension?/interim visa to continue to work right?! she's the main income earner at the moment while I sort out some of my medical issues so we rely on her wages!
We're really anxious about this whole thing as we're running out of time and have no idea what her medical results will be like ahhh lol. She has asthma which is the only thing we know of that she has. She has had surgeries in the past (patella re-alignment, something done to her shoulder and some gland removed from her neck, all were 6+ years ago) but doesn't have problems with those things now. She's also in the "obese" BMI range (235lbs, 5'4") and currently losing weight but we've read that they need to do extra tests since shes "obese".. should she fast before we go to the medical anyway so we don't have to go back? we're traveling 2.5 hours for the medical so would like it all done that day lol.
She doesn't take medications and hasn't needed to go to the doctor or anything in the 11 months she's been here which could be a good sign?!
Sorry for all the questions. We're so stressed out about everything and we need help
