Hi South, good to 'see' you again.
The one point about applying for a WP is that you need a job offer in hand before you approach NZIS, so maybe looking for a job would be a good starting point.
As Taffy says, getting a WP, once you have a job offer, shouldn't take very long and can even be the same day if you're prepared to stand in line and have all the necessary requirements with you so there aren't any holdups.
Doing it from NZ would be easier and probably cheaper all round if you happen to be going there anyway. You'd stand a much better chance of getting a job if you're in the country, too.
