Hello everyone,
As you may have noticed that I am brand new to this forum. So I will tell everyone my story!
I am currently on a WH visa from the UK in New Zealand. I have met my wonderful boyfriend who is actually a Kiwi. We have been going strong for 2 months now (not a long time I know) but we are so in love. However, as some of you may know NZ is very strict on visas and I have already been here for 7 months. I am thinking of trying to apply for a work visa and get a job here for another year, however my chances of getting a work visa are very slim. I am currently Au Pairing and my contract for this job is finishing in 5 weeks. Due to some issues I do not want to renew this contract but in doing so I need to find a job and somewhere to stay. This is where my boyfriend comes in, part of the reason why I want to stay in NZ is because of him and the other reasons are that I love NZ and I want to make a fresh start out here - my family life back home was a bit unstable. I would very much like to stay on here in NZ but the only way of doing that is by either the work visa or a partner visa.
For a partner visa I need to live with my boyfriend and prove we are in a stable relationship. However it's so early in the process that I don't know what to do - he doesn't seem keen on this option but the thought of leaving him makes me upset everyday. Any advice or tips on what to do would be helpful? Would you do an LDR from UK to NZ?
