Hi Crystal:
I am a New Zealand citizen and my husband is a US citizen. We plan to return to New Zealand to live this year (September). My husband has applied for Permanent Residency under the Partnership Category. This is the route you will need to go for your husband.
You shouldn't have any problems as long as his Medical results are ok and his Police check is ok. Also you have to have heaps of proof your relationship is a genuine relationship.
Good luck.
Suzanne.
