Default I'm already HERE..Now how do I STAY here?
I'm assuming you are here on a Visitors Visa, and coming from the USA, that entitles you to initially be here for 3 months (although it can be extended).

If you really want to stay here, you'll need to find yourself a skilled job, then get yourself a work permit. If all goes well and you decide to live and settle here permanently, you can apply for residency.

Of course there are lots of considerations as to where in NZ you will settle, whether you can get a job, etc.... What part of NZ are you in at the moment?

Good luck! :icon_biggrin:
