New Zealand spouse immigration related issues
Q: Can the spouse work visa and PR application be submitted at the same time?
A: It can be submitted at the same time. These are two independent applications. The work visa will be approved first, and PR generally has a probation period of 6- 12 months.
Q: My girlfriend and I have been living together for six months. Can she submit a PR application now?
A: Yes, but because you have lived together for a short time, the New Zealand Immigration Bureau will wait until you have lived together for at least 12 months before approving it.
Q: I am a New Zealand citizen. Three years ago, I went to marriage and immigrated alone, and now I just got divorced. Can I sponsor my girlfriend in China to immigrate here now?
Answer: It is stipulated that the second party cannot be guaranteed for five years. So you handled the spouse migration for others three years ago, and you have to wait two years to support your current girlfriend.
Q: My ex-girlfriend and I applied for PR through skilled migration two years ago. At that time, she was a prospective applicant. Now that I am separated, do I have to wait five years before I can help others to apply for spouse immigration?
A: You don't have to wait five years, because your ex-girlfriend didn't apply for spouse immigration and you didn't take care of her.
Q: My current husband and I are in our twenties. We have both been divorced before. Will the Immigration Bureau refuse the visa for these reasons?
A: Because of your special circumstances, the Immigration Bureau will strictly examine your relationship, but as long as you can prove that your relationship is true and stable from all angles, you will not easily refuse the visa.
Q: The immigration officer told us to go for an interview next week. Shall we interview together or separately?
A: Usually, immigration officers interview one person alone first, and then interview another person alone.
Q: Now I want to apply for my past girlfriend. The problem is that we are all in China now.
Is it easier for us all to apply in the past? If so, what visa will she apply for?
Are you registered in China or there if you get married?
Does it mean that you have to get married 1 year to succeed?
A: Method: Let your girlfriend go by studying abroad, and then you get married.
Apply for immigration after marriage, because it is easy and quick for people to apply locally.

Free public medical care

The maximum charge for each drug is 3 yuan, and the rest is made up by the state.
