why not?
What would theoretically be the problem with marrying here in States and accompanying said husband to the NZ Embassy? Good god, these rules are ridiculous and not clear cut.

From the below, I read it that the USC must be "residing abroad". On a positive note, that may not mean living there, but visiting MAY be OK.
You really should read the DocSteen DCF section and then CALL the Consulate in Auckland to get the specifics.
http://usembassy.org.nz/nzservices/i...wwsindex.shtml
"In some cases, if the American citizen sponsor is residing abroad, he or she may file the petition (I-130) with the Immigrant Service officer or in person at the Consulate General in Auckland, provided the alien spouse is a permanent resident of New Zealand."
Also,
"THE IMMIGRANT VISA SECTION:
Processes visas for applicants who wish to obtain legal permanent residence in the United States, or who have lost their green card.
Open to the public for walk-in service 9.00am to 12.30pm Monday to Friday
Phone inquiries - 2.00pm to 4.00pm Monday to Friday
Phone: (64+9) 303 2724 extn: 227 / 228
They do not accept emails on the subject of immigration or visas.
