Re: worried about emigrating
Good so what are your EOI points then?
Good hopefully you can sleep on it and look at legally getting yourself and your family over here.
Can I just point out as I do feel I might of been a little harsh. It is possible to come over here on a holiday visa and stumble into a job offer, it's exactly what happened to our family. Difference being my husband came out on a holiday to meet a friend for just 2 weeks, during his stay he was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time and had skills that someone was looking for. Difference being he had not dragged the whole family over on one type of visa to covertly obtain another.

Re: worried about emigrating
You do have an option - stay in the UK, you fit right in Pinky!
You have blatantly contradicted yourself on a number of occasions, which is why it's so obvious you are a troll. The main one being at the start of this thread saying you can't make head or tails of what you have to do to get to NZ yet you have just said you fully understand the process. So if you know it all then come on over, bugger it up, be left penniless, homeless, without the right visa and get you and your family deported. Good luck to you!
After a day of entertainment I think it's time to turn in. Goodnight all! Damn it love30atm I have meds stuck in my head now!

Re: worried about emigrating
if you are so educated why do you take all my posts out of context
YOU GOT TO HAVE A VISA - I KNOW
YOU GOT TO HAVE A VISA - I KNOW
YOU GOT TO HAVE A VISA - I KNOW
when did i say i could get a job in nz and not apply for a work visa for 1 yr
when? which country just gives kids appys/scholarships without visa?
i know the website says 17-24yrs must get working holiday visa - i read
i just do not understand why you are making a big deal, if i want to come how does this affect you, i am only a human being people are allowed to make mistakes that is why they have jails
and for you information uk has the same immigration policies for work also
visa requirement or not work. nz is not unique in this way
why cant i come to nz how i want if i get deported you wont lose sleep
let people do what they need to do, dont police the country you have police and imm to do this job.
And about the usa it is just you cannot watch the bbc video on baltimore
I have read the nz immg website it is very straight forward
i have done nothing in uk, what can i do in nz, it seems to me that you guys dont want anybody there and try your damndest to stop people from coming over like me, i am entitled to my opinion just like you. I have really been battered by this forum i hope you are happy it is supposed to help but you have not killed my spirit not all though have answered sarcastically some are wonderful and try to talk logically
btw i saw the article on south african woman in nz about to be deported are they making an example of her?
Considering how expensive things are there do you not think that you need immigrants, who will bring the cost of stuff down?
to tell you the truth it may seem mad that i want to come soon, but i dont have a option it is make or break it, DONT JUDGE A MAN TILL YOU WALKED IN HIS SHOES OR TROD HIS PATH OF LIFE
I REALLY GOT TO GO AND SLEEP YOU KNOW THIS HAS TO STOP NOW
PEACE

Re: worried about emigrating
I've had an interesting time this morning trying to follow this thread. I agree with Pom-Chch.
Pinky if you understand the immigration process go right ahead and come on over. Sell up everything you have in the UK - you have nothing to loose.
Oh - out of interest - I get the impression that you are an immigrant to the UK from how you have referred to holding a british passport. What country did you immigrate from and how long did it take you to obtain working visas when you first arrived in the UK?
Ah well - getting deported if it doesn't work out is no big deal at all and i'm sure the USA will still welcome you. Plenty of other countries out there to try out!

Again WOW! That was one of the most entertaining threads I've ever read. Pure Jeremy Kyle x BE on speed.
A big THANK YOU for brightening up my morning.

Re: worried about emigrating
Phew now it's definitely time to turn in. I'm quite exhausted after a day of fighting a troll on speed.
It strikes me as odd that Pinky claims to be a secretary. Just a question to all you people out there - would you employ a secretary who can barely string a written sentence together? The punctuation, grammar and spelling is shocking. But it's OK, she'll be waved on through immigration because she is of great importance to NZ obviously.
G'night Pinks!

Re: worried about emigrating
Since then you have been given lots of information but because it has not been to your liking, you have become increasingly loud (CAPITALS = SHOUTING).
In amongst it you have been given a lot of useful information about how lengthy and difficult it can be to obtain a correct NZ visa. These comments come from people who have done it, not just researched (badly) on the internet. All along you have rebuffed this with assertations that positive thinking will get you through.
Good luck. You will need it. And a visa.
You are lucky that NZIS cannot identify you from this thread, it indicates your intent to misuse a visa category (ie search for work on a visitors visa), and that is grounds to refuse entry.

Re: worried about emigrating
Thank you Pinky, this has been the funniest thread I've read in a long time on here.
I've just joined the prison service here in NZ and I promise I'll take good care of you and your boys
while you are being held awaiting deportation
Good luck with your move, see you soon

Re: worried about emigrating
i bet you guys are all old
i did not write those posts in the newspapers here in uk and the usa or australia it is what it says you just cant accept defeat, you just cant
this is what the newspapers says it is not for you to argue when you all know nothing about it, you can think you know you dont, you can say it says no immigrants but that is the headline, we watched the video on bbc and it is happening.
The irish have been given visa at embassy in ireland for aus,can,NZ ask them in CHCH you did not know this but there they are in front of you, it was in the newspapers here and on news but not over there as NZ is still in the dark. What do you know after all, if i come i dont come to you, if i fail will you be there to see, if i get a visa will you be happy - no because from your posts it is not possible for any to be happy for others. LIKE I SAID BEFORE NZ WILL BE DRAGGED INTO THE 21ST CENTUARY KICKING AND SCREAMING WITH A INFLUX OF MIGRANTS JUST WHAT YOU DID TO THE MAORI IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, IT HAPPENED IN UK, USA TAKEN OVER BY SPANISH IT IS HAPPENING IN EUROPE TAKEN OVER BY ISLAM BRACE YOURSELVES for the inevitable
i am coming dont hate me accept me

Out of interest, how are you going to force your sons to join you? They don't want to go to NZ and at 18 and 16 are fully within their rights and powers to refuse your promise of idyll.

Re: worried about emigrating
This thread is funny.
But the fact is there is nothing stopping you from coming here to look for work., as long as you meet the vistors requirements.
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migra...isit/visitors/
Basically, you need to have a return ticket and funds to support yourself. If you have both, then go for it.
Whilst the OP's attitude and outlook is a bit strange, I do not think what they are looking to do is not particularly out of the ordinary. There are lots of jobs you can fall into and score a work permit, truck driving, forestry, winery work, all come to mind.
In cases anyone was wondering, we came over on vistiors visa's, completely clueless to the in and outs of the immigration process, with about $500 to our name. We scored cash in hand jobs, lived on $70/week and stayed in very crappy backpackers for two months. I got a job offer and the work permit was processed in a couple of weeks. Here we are eight years later.
So, OP if you are not a troll, good luck to you and your family.

It's all obviously worked out for you but presumably you were just lucky that you didn't get caught and lobbed out of the country for breaking the terms of the visitors visa. It's not an avenue that BE can condone or encourage.

Re: worried about emigrating
Sorry, but your are wrong.
There is nothing to stop you looking for work and applying for a work permit, once you have entered the country on a vistors visa.
So there was no "luck" involved. Only hard graft and perseverance.
