Hey Larian,

I saw your name on another post, it sounds familiar to me... were you ever at CBM? FYI...I spoke with the folks at the NZ Embassy in D.C. the other day...they can process your residency paperwork much quicker then if you do it in NZ. 3-4 months versus a year down there. It does cost quite bit more ($800 vice approx $500)but for me it will worth it, especially if I Fly for Air NZ and watch the All Blacks live!!

Here is a good link to get you started... http://www.immigration.govt.nz/
