Visa help from her friend
David K:
Hi Steve
[1] Each Visitor visa application, or application for a visa extention is considered a completely new application, together repeat paperwork and a repeat fee :(
The reason given is that circumstances may change between applications... Check the INZ Website
[2] To be considered for residence on the basis of a relationship, you actually have to be living together for 12 months or more in an exclusive and stable
relationship likely to endure - although there is the possibility of a temporary visa on the basis of your relationship -
see http://www.immigration.govt.nz/NR/rdonlyres/04C0685F-1088-4ECE-B5A7-D6E1183B983F/0/INZ119930July2012.pdf
[3] I gained residency for my wifes son as a dependent student 18-24yo. About 6 months after we applied, they removed this category of applicant-
and there are now more complex requirements, which you will have to balance in with requirement [2] - see http://www.dol.govt.nz/immigration/knowledgebase/item/1176
Happy planning and Good luck :-)
