Hi,

Lets just say the EOI pass mark drops to 100 or 105 in the next couple of weeks ......

If we applied and were successful we'd have to make the move within 12 months. Would it be possible to enter country within that 12 months and then return to the UK for a couple of months before returning to settle in NZ ?

Ok, I'll explain myself... We plan to move in Spring 2006 but if we applied now we'd have to move within 12 months of being accepeted. Due to various commitments, this isn't convieniant BUT if we wait, the points may go sky high and we'd have to secure a job offer to get the points (don't really want to go out before securing a job, if it can be helped).

That said, I guess the whole process could take 3 months (perhaps longer???) to be 'accepted' and the 12 months would start from that date.

Sooooooooo If the pass mark does drop in the next couple of weeks, do you think:
- We should apply, and hope that we are accepted and the process takes a few months.
- We should apply and if we're accepted, visit NZ within that 12 month period, but return to the UK for a couple of months (I understand that you have 1 x returning Visa when your accepted) ....is this possible?
- Stick to the original plan and wait till next year to apply.

Thanks
