Weekend Blog and Forum Roundup July 4th
Glasgow Gal on Move2NZ tells the rather depressing tale of having to go back to the UK because of a work visa and having a job that dried up. The most important things in this forum post is that
a/ Work Visas are causing untold agony for many migrants, and
b/ NZIS staff gave these people incorrect information which means that they became overstayers. I look forward to the day that NZIS staff are finally held accountable for the number of times they stuff up and don’t do their jobs properly.
The Brunts Big Move explains Fluffies – the New Zealand phenomenon that basically makes you want to be 3 yrs old.
This New Zealand Life posted a bloody good blog about how migrants are ready to deal with Earthquakes. Its something you just have to get used to here, particularly if you come to the Wellington Area to live. We were fairly lucky in that when we arrived there were an awful lot of little quakes as it was just after the Boxing Day Tsunami. “Lucky” because it meant we rapidly got used to the sensation of being stuck in a building that shook!
Chez Lee held a Star Wars party for her Daughter which has left me (as a total Fan-girl and geek) a bit jealous.
Update
Glasgow Gal’s Story is reported in The Press: Immigration Nightmare. The NZIS spokesperson says bugger-all about the cock up – which is business as usual really.
