Default NZIS Partnership Policy
Hi there

I applied through the partnership scheme with my kiwi wife.

We didn't submit half of what you ask for - where did you get that list?

We sent in:

Wedding Certificate
Wedding Photos
Other photos of holidays taken together
Joint Bank Account details
Joint names on tenancy agreements
Joint names on council tax details
Bills addressed to both of us
Other letters addressed to both of us

We'd been together 4 years before we got married, and 3 years married. We thought that if we'd kept half of the things they asked for all they'd be doing is bringing in a load of kleptomaniacs!

The whole process for me - from downloading the forms to getting my visas took 10 weeks, with the NZIS taking 4 of those.

At the end of the day if you're in a legitimate relationship you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Good Luck!
