Surely, you will never know when the day finally comes. My mobile phone rang today and I heared the ever familiar voice of our NZIS Visa Case officer

"I'm very pleased to advise you that I have 'Approved in Principle' your application for residence for you and your partner."

OMG!! We got approved for a PR!!

and I saw jumping bananas sprang in front of me.. :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana :raebanana

k noughsaid..

The wife and I are both very happy today. However, only two remaining steps to go

- Pay the Migrant Levy and passports will be on the way back to us with the PRs.
- Buy Plane tickets to NZ.

It was pretty good timing as I was about to cancel my credit card, or else I have to send a bank draft to pay the levy. So folks be ready for it.

Thanks to the folks at this site for the support they have provided. Now let me get back to the party down stairs.. BRB.

What wonderful news !!!!!

I know exactly how you feel, ours came through on Christmas Eve.

As for the migrant levy - it's abit of a sting in the tail isn't it - but a small price to pay in reality I guess.

We have 3 things left to do:

Sell the house
Pay migrant levy
Book tickets


Enjoy the celebrations.

Ok.. I lost count of how many beer bottles I had at the moment.. :cheers so beer amean BEar with me *hik* :mrgreen:

Yeah that levy was a bit of a suprise.. I knew about that thing but never crossed my mind recently until later today.. US$400 I think it was.. and I have to pay for the courier fee for our passports *geesh* so guys be wary.

Heres another thing.. I will only be issued 2 returning residence visas.. now what is that suppose to mean? sorry, the brain is in alcohol trance.. :mrgreen:
