Re: Visas have been applied for... The wait has begun
I agree with barnsleymat. Anyone who says that a young person has more future prospects in NZ than the UK really needs to think again. From what I understand, the main reason why so many young people from NZ leave is to look for more and better opportunties. You may not like reading comments on here from people who dont agree with you, but they are not being purposefully negative; instead they are looking at your situation from a different angle, and many have been through the same situation . Discard the comments you dont like, and enjoy the ones you do.

good to be able to give her the opportunity to reinvent herself but I think you may have some rose coloured glasses on as to what NZ has to offer, especially for the younger generation, hence the need for the immigration restrictions so that the younger people already here can get jobs and careers.
Can I ask have you and your daughter looked into what NZ has to offer your daughter, study, work career wise and how that fits into what she is looking to do for herself?
And just to say some of the comments you have received would of been given as you stated "The whole move is drawn as my wife is fed up with the NHS, and wants a new life"

Thanks for your comment, and we have given consideration to my daughter, we are not selfish parents, or anything like that. We are not moving just because of the NHS, it has been our dreams for a long time, and as a 16 year old, she has her future ahead of her, and there is no future for her in the UK. At least she will have the opportunity to re-invent herself.
