How can my husband's continuous work experience be used as justification for our New Zealand PR application?

Yes, your husband's continuous work experience can help strengthen your New Zealand Permanent Residency (PR) application by earning additional points under the Skilled Migrant Category (SMC).

- Skilled Employment: If your husband has a skilled job offer or is employed in a skilled role in New Zealand, you may claim extra points (typically 20). The job must be full-time, meet New Zealand's skilled employment standards, and your husband must be included in your PR application.
- Recognized Qualifications: If your husband holds a qualification recognized in New Zealand, you can claim more points - usually 10 for Level 7/8, and 20 for Level 9/10 qualifications.

You must also show you have lived together in a genuine partnership for at least 12 months, and your husband should meet English language requirements.

Policies and point values are subject to change. For detailed guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
