Residency approved!! Or is it??
 

Woop woop! Received letter confirming residency application successful, just need to pay levy and send in passports! Yipee!!! :thumbsup:

My niggling worry is... we applied as skilled migrants and got points for having a job in nz in an area of long term skills shortage (marketing), but the company where I work is making redundancies...eek!

I've been told my job is safe, but just worried if i do end up getting cut.. what happens to our residency status?:(

What are the conditions of residency over the first 2 years? Would I have to find another job in marketing ie what i applied under originally? or is it as simple as i just need to spend so many days per year in nz for the next 2 years?

Help.. confused / looking for clarification...

If you were granted Permanent Residency I reckon you'll be fine, i think its only an issue if you have a WTR visa. So long as you had a genuine offer of employment when the visa was granted then I dont see the problem. :D

Our PR visa (under skilled migrant route) has a section 18 condition, which basically says that after you have activated your visa, you must be in employment within three months for a period of three months. Then, you apply to have that removed when you have satisfied that.
