Hello all,
Currently awaiting decision on a partnership residency visa lodged in early May.
INZ processing times are resolving 90% applications at the moment in eleven months.
My NZ partner is in the UK with me on a young persons working holiday visa. I’m not certain that INZ will make a decision before her visa is up for here. Contemplating submitting an application for partnership work visa also as my medical is valid for a few more weeks and was particularly expensive to have done in the UK. Police check is also still valid.
Does anyone have any knowledge as to whether it’s worth applying for both visas? Will I get the option to upgrade to the residency if that is approved after the work visa?
Thanks in advance for your help.
