Advice needed please!
Oh lordy. We had our ITA acknowledged on 19th May, OH has job offer and children (18,17 and 15) positive about move. All fine then.
My 18 year daughter has just told me she is pregnant and intends keeping it. She has recently broken up with her boyfriend.
Can anyone tell me what do we do now? Do I email case officer? What about the baby - will she have to get ex's permission to take it to the other side of the world?

You will probably find someone knows exactly what to do and will come along and tell you! It must have been very hard for hr to tell you, obviously a credit to you that she did. Good luck with it all hope you get the answers your looking for.

Goodness. What a shock for you all. I don't really know how this will stand with NZIS as logically it means adding another life to the application. However, pregnant wives emigrate so why not a pregnant dependent daughter. You may have a bit of a mission on your hands to have NZIS accept that your daughter and your grandchild-to-be will both be totally, financially dependent on you but not a 'burden' to NZ.
What if your daughter hadn't told you until after you had PR and arrived in NZ. How would that have stood with NZIS? Would they have revoked the collective family PR ?
Hope someone can help here. If not & you feel NZIS may stop your application , then this may be a case for finding a quality agent to help prepare a case.

have you got your visas yet? Done your medicals?
the complication is that according to the NZIS if youre over 17 and have children of your own you are not a "dependant child", but I dont know how that is going to be applied in this case.

any chance she can have the baby in NZ? not sure on the timescales you are looking at in terms of moving etc.
If you have submitted everything and are only waiting on the visas being issued, and she can have the baby in Nz then that would seem the easiest option. The baby will prob then automatically be a UK and NZ citizen as well (depending on your res status). Im no expert though, but it looks like having the baby in the uk and then moving to NZ is potentially more complicated

Think you are right. Best case would be if visas approved soon (everything submitted, OH has job offer) and get her over there before baby born. Not too sure how ex will be. They are now talking things through and discussing whether to make a go of it. IMHO I don't think they should get back together purely because of the baby - there has to be more to it. He in Army and off to Iraq late Summer - whole new can of worms there!
You're right - she is being very calm and willing to discuss things - behaving the most mature I've ever seen her!
Think all we can do right now is see if visas forthcoming and then go from there.
A big thank you to everyone for their advice and support.

The cut off age for children is 24. We needed financial records for each child to prove dependence on us, but this was not enough (could have been paid cash in hand rather than direct into bank) and letter from employer as both contracted to part time.
It's a biggie - reputable agent or immigration specialist may be the order of the day.
Best of luck
