We're coming to NZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello all,
Well - we've just had the phone call from our visa officer to say that we are approved in principle
WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!
Thank you for everyone's help in getting us to this stage - a few weeks ago I had almost given up!!
We have decided to wait until our first baby arrives in August and then fly to Auckland early October - going to book flights this weekend
It's such a BRILLIANT feeling - PR - wow!!!!!
For everyone that's in the process and is getting frustrated as we were - CARRY ON!!! It's well worth it!

Congratulations.
Check out Lizaberry's thread http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=615291 which has a link to a flight deal with Singapore Airlines. Could help to save some pennies!?
Best of luck with the safe arrival of new baby & also sorting out move.

Flipping well brilliant
Did the case officer back down from his/her hard decision about your quals then or did you have to push harder. Just being dead nosey.

Re: We're coming to NZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone
All the cheap flights with Singapore airlines had sold out!!! Still managed to get an ok deal with them though - we're all set for October 10th!!!
Bevs - the case officer wouldnt back down on the qualification - I just got more proof of Pauls work experience (references, timesheets, job orders etc) and she gave the additional 15 points that she took off!! Was a bit more work to get it sorted but we got there in the end! Thank you for all of your help it really was great!
