Hi and Welcome.

I will give MB chance to get her mind together by atempting to answer first for a change.

Depending on what skills you have and your line of work you might be able to apply for residency in your own right through skilled migrant category.

Alternatively if youare already in NZ and can get yourself an offer of employment you could get yourself a work visa/permit to cover the time for sponsorship.

I had a quick look under the partnership category and it states you have to have been in a stable relationship for 12months or more. I imagine that your length of relationship won't be a problem and that if you could prove that your relationship was still ongoing- i.e emails, letters etc during the time apart the you should be OK. You could give INZ a quick email and ask then the best way to go- in my experience they have been fairly prompt at answering emails.

Hope that helps a bit

Beth
