    Hi All
    Here is my question if anyone can help:
    Currently working as an accountant in Auckland on a WHV which expires on 15th September.
    Company I work for want to keep me till end of April 2013 to cover for a guy seconded to a project
    I got the work visa form from immigration together with the notes on it and it stated that job offer should be a minimum of two years!
    Can anyone confirm given that my job offer is only for 9 months if this will prevent me from getting my work visa or how strict immigration are on this?

    Thanks in advance

    Give your HR dept a shout and see what they say. (Or the NZ immigration dept)
    Maybe dont actually put the term (9months) in the application. Play dumb with the 2 years thing. Sure in 9 months time they might want you to stay longer.

    Cheers buddy, Ye will say it to HR but pretty sure they do everything by the book there,
    It will probably depend how strict immigration are, surely not every job offer is for a two year period!
    ah well may bet back to my form filling are start arranging a medical
