Visitor Visa不知道谁翻译的旅游签,和技术移民一样,明明是技能移民,非要整个好听一点却不反应实际的名称。Visitor Visa应该叫访客签,探访亲友、旅游等等都属于Visitor Visa涵盖的范围,包括新西兰人的非新西兰国籍的孩子来访新西兰(Visitor Visa下专门还为这种情况设立了这种签证:Child of a New Zealander Visitor Visa)。
严格说,移民官说的是对的,这个移民官是依法的,你的经历确实反映了法规的要求:
F5.1.5 Eligibility to support a residence class visa application under the Dependent Child Category
Parent(s) are eligible to support a residence class visa application under the Dependent Child Category if they are:
- lawfully and permanently in New Zealand (F5.5.5); and
- not liable for deportation, or a person whose deportation liability has been suspended.
“lawfully and permanently in New Zealand”的释义就是:
F5.5.5 Definition of 'lawfully and permanently in New Zealand'
People who are lawfully and permanently in New Zealand must be actually residing in New Zealand and be either:
- citizens of New Zealand; or
- holders (or deemed to be holders) of New Zealand residence class visas.
