bro im now in new zealand holding a visitors visa..i really want to apply for work in here..but i dont have a work permit..my wife is a pr in here..the immigration officer told me that i could apply for work permit undr partnership with my wife, but the problem is we havnt have lived together for 12 months and their questioning the genuity of our relationship in which it is one of their requirments..im really wondring if there is a way in which i would be granted a work permit..we lived here in one house together with her mother and brother but the house is not under our name...but its with her and her mother..if only we could have transfered for another house on our own and start having our own transactions to support the genuity of our relationship..
back when i was still in the Philippines, i applied for a working visa but was denied for they were not convinced with the stability of our relationship, but i was granted for a visitors visa good for nine months only...we had this problem because as we got married with my wife 3 days later she left to new zealand.. can you help me bro if what else could we provide in order for us to convince the immigration office about the stablility of our relationship granting that they would issue me a working permit..thanx so much..hope i could hear a response from u...
