Dear Arshdeep,
As you may be aware that Immigration New Zealand has now changed their attitude towards visa applications for Indian couples who have not yet lived together for a considerable amount of time. Depending upon the reasons for declines, you may consider applying for your husband’s visa again. If you are on a Post Study work Visa Open, you may stay in India but it is advisable that you use this visa to gain further skills and thus find a skilled job. It is important that you ensure that you do not spend the entire duration overseas, the purpose of this visa is to allow you to gain relevant work experience in New Zealand. While there is no such policy or instruction that restricts the time you can spend overseas during this visa, it is advisable that you utilize this visa for its intended purpose. You can include your husband in your residence application even if you have not yet lived together for 12 months.
Kind regards,
Malkiat Singh
