Hi
Sorry for the delay in responding but we have been experiencing a few problems with the computer.
Yes, regarding the flights via LA I also read that post however when I mentioned the problems stated in it to the travel agent they managed to persuade me that this was not the case, foolish that I am I sadly believed her:012: , the immigration wasnt the problem we were only there about 10 mins to be fair, the problem was having to collect our luggage and then get it to another terminal in such a short time (25mins before our next flight), we found the airport staff were less than helpful and they actually refused to help us push the pram. My sister in law flew via Bangkok with Quantas, she never saw her luggage from leaving Manchester to arriving in Wellington, she was full of praise for them if thats any help.
Our jobs I found via many hours on the internet emailing people with our Cv's, we started the process of getting our nurses registration first that took the longest approx 3 months in all. We had our interviews over the phone, once we heard we had gained the positions the house went on the market. We came on 2 year work visas which took two days to be issued at London, I couldnt believe how quick they were. Once the money for the house came through we booked the flights and arrived three weeks later. the whole process took about 4 months. Now we are here we are going to put in an expression of interest, and hopefully gain residency from that.
We decided on the Kapiti Coast because of our jobs, although I have to say it is a beautiful area, we actually live about 50mins from work but we decided that it was worth the travel.
Hope this is of use to you, let me know how you get on or if I can be of any use. Regards :icon_lol:
