I just got residency through partnership in 7 days....I think if you are really organised with your paperwork this helps it to be dealt with promptly...couple of tips that may (who knows?) have helped with promptness....
Be brief on the covering letter but put down a list of Enclosures so they can do a quick check as to what you enclosed.
Get the NZ partner to put together a brief letter saying that they are happy to sponsor you.
NZIS London has a list on their site of how to put everything together...read this then you know you are doing what they want!
My NZ parther and I got police reports (as he has been in UK for 8 years) and myself and our son had medicals. Enclose x-rays with paperwork so they have everything.
Any questions just ask as it is all still fresh in my memory...got approval this week!
