We've been selected!!!
Wahey!!!
Our EOI has been pulled out of the pool - and we only submitted it yesterday!!
Fingers crossed they don't want any more information and that they need our passports next week for the PR visa!!
We would be celebrating except we have had a MASSIVE row and are currently not talking civilly to each other!
However, I am off for a

An EOI is an Expression of Interest - the first step in the torturous route to getting PR in NZ.
Soapy - we are already here so it is too far to be able to storm off back to the UK in a huff!
Not that I would want to anyway - the faster I get PR the better in my book - that way I am here forever, whatever happens with jobs or anything - and, as I have just pointed out to hubby, I can kick him out if I want once I have it - I just have to put up with him until then as I can only get PR off the back of him.
So he has his uses, at times.

Sorry your wrong ecando.
To apply for PR you cannot just apply for a visa, like you would for a Works Visa for example. Everyone has to fill out an Expression of Interest form, can be done online. This is an extensive form asking the same sort of questions as what would be asked on a visa application. Your EOI is then put into a 'pool' with everyone else's for a set amount of time. Everyweek, I think, applications are selected from the pool, usually they choose the ones with job offers and the highest points etc. Once you are selected you are then invited to Apply for a PR Visa, they request proof of what you have entered in the EOI form and I believe the application for the visa is a lot easier as the EOI form is so thorough. Once all has been checked through they then offer the visa.
