HI MrsFychan,
Thank you for the answer, i will check the link. No, it is arranged marriage from the parents of both end. She will complete her education in June 2014. By that, if some thing works out, she will come to new zealand. |

HI Scot, Are you serious :ohmy:
What ever it may be marriage is the one thing that happens as a life event. Ofcourse, any one can joke on this (no one can change it). I didnt where this discussion is going on. Any one, please clarify my doubt. MrsFychan, i checked the link you posted. It says like after "If you decide to apply after your student visa expires, you have 3 months to do so... " but it didnt say anything like, can i go to my country and come back 15 days or 1 month prior to apply for the Graduate Job Search Visa. |
Re: Please advise on gradute job search visa
marriage certificates are not a basis to prove to immigration that your relationship is a serious one you have to prove that you are a unit and work and share a life together. joint bank accounts, joint bills, outings, holidays etc. so if you cannot provide evidence you may struggle to get your new wife out with you

However MrsFychan point regarding NZIS view upon relationships stands. You must demonstrate that you have been living together, as man and wife, usually for 12 months and have supporting documentation. |

HI Catchafire and Scot,
Scot, I am sorry. Honestly i didnot know these rules and in addition i am first time listening this. Because, in our country marriage is something that is decided my parents. So, when scot said like that, i thought it is a joke. Once again, i apologize because i cannot joke on the people who is going to advise me. MrsFychan, thank you. I will check these documents before fileing my wifes application. |
Re: Please advise on gradute job search visa
There is a special category for culturally arranged marriages though I'm not sure how it relates to temporary visa holders so you may have to read round a bit more;) It appears to be more for those who are NZ residents or citizens but are marrying from abroad.
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...s.htm#marriage It may be that you can apply for an 'open' work visa for her as you would be a temporary work visa holder [graduate job search]. The above does indicate that NZIS accept arranged marriages. However I cannot find anything on partners coming to NZ if one is on a graduate job search visa. It may be worth contacting NZIS directly to ask about this. Firstly I can't find whether partners are allowed under that type of visa and secondly I can't answer on how likely NZIS are to accept your wife as part of a stable and genuine relationship. The above part shows that they do accept and understand arranged marriage as traditional so it may be ok:) As for your questions on travelling, I can't see why it should be a problem: To be eligible for a Graduate Work Search Visa you must: have successfully completed a qualification in New Zealand that meets the study to work qualification requirements apply no later than three months (six months if you have completed a doctoral qualification) after the end date of the student visa for that qualification provide evidence of a minimum of NZ$4,200 available to maintain yourself during your 12-month stay in New Zealand (we will accept traveller's cheques or bank documents in your name).
