Steve -

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I'll probably still make a seperate trip, at the least to get a better feel for Welly and Chch, and see which suits me best. Hell, if I can get a PR without a job offer, I may just stay on with my current company and work remotely. I am pretty certain I could at least contract with them at least for 3-6 months. Part of me wants to ask about that right now, but I don't want them to know that I'm 100% set on the NZ thing, as I haven't quite given "notice". Though, they are aware I'm looking into it. Kind of curious to see the reaction when NZIS calls to confirm my employment and work history :icon_eek: icon_exclaim.gif
