If you look around the forum, I've posted a link for the latter route very recently. You don't have to be married to apply for this type of visa, just be in a committed and long term relationship. Take a look at the requirements and see if they fit your circumstances. I would be cautious about admitting to INZ that you only intend staying for 3 years though. This type of visa is intended to bring couples together in NZ permanently.

If you finally managed to apply for and be granted PR, you would be able to stay indefinitely otherwise you could only stay for the length of your WP.

well she is a rufugee and has been in NZ for about 4 years so I'm guessing that is a condition right there. I think she get's her passport at the end of this year. I'm not sure though.
