Asking for a friend who is in New Zealand, prime applicant Resident Visa holder...
1) Question in PR form, page 6: If your visa is subject to these conditions, have you met these conditions.
One of the answers must be selected: yes, no or not applicable - my friend as the main applicant only has travel conditions on his resident visa label and they have been met by my friend.
Does it mean he must select yes or does this only question only apply for returning resident's visa or residence permit subject to requirements under section 18A of the Immigration Act 1987, then these are conditions under section 49 of the Immig act 2009.
2) Another question read as: If you do not meet the requirements for a permanent resident visa as set out in the Guide for Resident and Former Resident Visa Holders (INZ 1176), do you give permission for INZ to assess your eligibility for the grant of a variation of travel conditions or a second or subsequent resident visa instead? So although the conditions are fulfilled, is it best to select yes?
3) Also friend's wife (Resident through Partnership) and Child (NZ Citizen) are stuck overseas owing to international flight restrictions. He will be adding her to the application form too. Partner has completed 184 days each year of the 2 years.
Clearly my friend doesn't want the result as variation of conditions. He is more worried for his wife's application outcome since she's overseas. He is hoping for PR approval for both since he is adding partner (non-principal applicant) too, to the application.
Looking forward to anyone's inputs, especially @JandM @EGoodHue
