I apologise in advance for all the questions I'll probably be asking on here.. we're just anxious, running out of time and want to do everything right the first time!
So my fiancee is applying for the Partner of a New Zealander Work Visa next week after we get her medical and everything together.
I saw something about "no flatmate arrangements" which has me worried because we do have a flatmate.
My name is the only one on the tenancy agreement (been living here for 5 years and my partner has been living here since Jan 4th 2018, have a letter from property manager stating this too). We got a flatmate in July cause I'm not currently working so we needed a bit of help to pay for things while we saved money to get my partners next visa etc. His names aren't on any of the bills, just mine and my partner. He pays us weekly which covers his room, power, water etc.
Is this going to be an issue? or will it be ok since she was living here before him? we are a lesbian couple so I'm worried they'll think that one of us is really dating our male flatmate ew! haha. He's kind of weird (and rude/disrespectful!) and we don't really interact with him so I'd feel weird asking him for a letter (plus he wouldn't do it in time cause he "forgets" things). But I do have the email from his girlfriend asking to view the room via the trade me ad we had for it back in July, could I show them that and maybe their facebook pages with photos of them 2 together?
His rent goes straight into our joint bank account, which we'll obviously be showing to immigration so I think I kinda HAVE to tell them who this dude is depositing $160 a week into our account! lol
