Not over yet: first a work visa then PR issues!
 
Hmmm

Even though the UK passport authority are satisfied I changed my name due to marriage ( more than once actually :o ) NZIS want even more proof for the PR process! I had foreseen this actually and have marriage/divorce paperwork to hand :thumbsup: BUT, how stupid, when I had to prove all this for a UK passport anyway. AND: the temporary visa team accepted the changes...


And now, they want even more relationship evidence. I s'pose it's cos the original evidence finished 5 months ago (our temp visa application) and I also foresaw this and have been saving evidence since... Do you think a wedding ceremony booking in Tekapo next Feb will suffice :rofl:

On the bright side, our lawyers have transferred our PR application from London to Christchurch, so at least we are on the doorstep now.

I have read in the past that even kids are not enough evidence. :lol:

I think it was the rust mark on husbands ankle that convinced NZIs he was shackled
