Hello there Rebecca. Your husband should be fine because you are already married. I moved to NZ before my husband (now ex-husband) and I were married and lived there for 6 months before we were married. He sponsered me and you will probably have to be a sponser for your husband as well. Contact NZ Immigration. I think you will find it easier to do than you think. I am hoping that my attempt to emmigrate will be easy, but I fear not. I had permanent residency, then came back here to the U.S. in 2000 with my daughter who is a NZ citizen. I am hoping to move back so we can be closer to her dad. But I might have a problem.
Best of luck.
Shawn Marie
