Cystic Fibrosis and Immigration
Having finally recieved my OOS from the RNZN after 2 years of haranging the recruitment team out there I have run into another problem. We were due to send our Expression of interest off last week but I am holding on to it as last week my 10 week old daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. That explained the last 9 weeks of worry, so although not the greatest news in the world, now she is recieving treatment we have a much happier daughter, hell I even got 7 hours straight sleep the other night!
My issue is:
1. Will this effect my application for residence? The NZI website contradicts itself, on one page it says CF is classed as a burden on the health service and on the other it says it is an exception to the rule???
Finally is there anyone out there who has moved across to NZ with a child with CF or does anyone know anybody in a similar position?
Any advice is always gratefully recieved.

Re: Cystic Fibrosis and Immigration
Hi,
you must have had a very difficult few weeks, I'm glad your daughter is now getting the treatment she needs.
I can't shed much light on your question but there was someone posting several months ago who had a child with CF and did run into some problems. I can't remember the posters name or even exactly when it was but if you have the energy to scroll back you might find them. I have a feeling they didn't progress their application but whether this was due to their child's condition or not I don't know. I'll scroll back and see if anything rings a bell and let you know - sorry this isn't nything more positive.

Hope it works out for you and thank goodness for the early diagnosis.
Best wishes

Re: Cystic Fibrosis and Immigration
Thanks Guys,
I tracked down CLaire Hopkins last night and sent a PM, then I went back through her posts (should have done that first). They didn't make it to NZ, the CF put a stop to the application and the appeals were rejected.
All we can do is try, if we are rejected then so be it.
Thx
