So, latest is OH job contract ends on 7th Feb...temp visa ends 8th Feb

Now need to find another job asap or back to the UK with our tails between our legs to start this whole process yet again. Damn it!!

Its been fun whilst it lasted.

No reason to feel you have to have your 'tails between your legs'.......you've done something lots of people only talk about ....they're never brave enough to actually do it!!
hope you find another job, but if you don't and have to come back I'm sure your resolve will get you back to NZ soon!

Hello lovely. Can you not apply under your job? Can OH get another contract? I know how much you want to stay, explore every possible angle before thinking it's over.
And I agree, it's not with your tail between your legs.

Explain to immigration and see if they will grant you a holiday visa whilst you look for another job, they did exactly that for a friend of mine.

I am doing everything in my power to stay so will give that a go.

I WON'T give up....no way, NZ is now home and thats how I want it to stay.
The thought of going back to the UK fills me with dread.

Watch this space!!

RobDon

Good Luck with everything and agree with you, Rotorua is one of the nicest places to live, but then we are biased!

My fiancie's family live in rotorua , there is a steak house there where you shouldn't order a large steak !!! Is it called silver something ?

While there is some obvious time pressure would the work contract not have supported a PR application??? (although it won't now...)

From memory, I think Kato's OH is a truck driver. Correct that if it's wrong Kato.

Per Am Loo. Do you have full-time work that could be used do you think?

snodger

I'm coming over as a defacto as she is a kiwi and also a nurse ,
I fancy getting a hgv truck licence , it's very expensive here around £3000 if you want to do a class 1!! I may as well do it if and when I come to nz

karron

didnt someone recently get residency after coming as a truck driver ? thought i read it recently

BEVS

Yeh ! I have been told that someone, who used to post here, has gained PR through truck driving. I think that person is a tanker driver and was on the Work To Residence visa. This may have been through an accredited employer and with them earning the required $55K PA or whatever the criteria was when they first gained the WTR.

There are quite a few HT drivers jobs down here in Napier on offer as its the fruit season starting in Feb, quite a few full time and contract positions on offer

karron

skybluestu do you know if the companies help with the visa ? normally you need to have a visa to get the job and to get the visa you need the job. so what you need is someone who will offer you the job and provide that evidence and then you can get the visa.
