The New Zealand government is still apparently making up its mind
to change the law which grants automatic citizenship to all
children born in NZ (those born to diplomats excepted).

It does
however seem likely that in the near future it will be necessary
for at least one parent to be a New Zealand citizen or permanent
resident.

They do appear to be serious about increasing the
residence period for citizenship from 3 years to 5 years, as well
as removing the concession that allows time on a temporary visa
to count towards the required residence.

Hello all

There's some debate going on.

As long as they don't make it
immediate and make everyone who's been here for 2 years and 11 months
wait another 2 years, and also allow concessions for those on work
permits/LTBV, there will be little opposition.

However as the
Government haven't yet fully appreciated that many people are coming to
NZ on work permits while they wait for their EOI to be accepted or LTBV
to convert to PR, then I suspect Internal Affairs will just whack on the
new 5 year waiting time and make few innocent people a bit cross.

We
live in hope.

Cheers from NZ

I for one, are all for this move and the introduction of a mandatory
oral/written exam regarding NZ Govt as well.

Police and the Immigration Service are collaborating on tougher
initiatives to help stamp out immigration fraud.

The measures have been announced by Immigration Minister Paul Swain.

He says the memorandum of understanding will formalise communication
between the two agencies.

Mr Swain acknowledges immigration fraud is a real problem in New
Zealand.

He says he believes people who abuse our immigration laws must be
deported immediately.

Included in the measures is the ability of police to access
round-the-clock facilities to check the immigration status of people
they stop for driving offences.

NZ is also changing the number of years a passport is valid from 10 to

Government to end citizenship shortcut

18.06.2004
By KEVIN TAYLOR, political reporter
Preferential treatment for spouses of New Zealand citizens seeking
citizenship will be abolished under tough changes to passport and
citizenship laws.

Spouses of New Zealand citizens can get citizenship after only two
years of residency.

But a bill tabled in Parliament yesterday extends the residency
requirement to five years for everybody.

The change is one of many in the Identity (Citizenship and Travel
Documents) Bill.

The legislation has now been published.

basket.co.nz/gpprint/docs/bills/20041481.txt[/url]

The new residence
period is set to take effect on 1.1.2005, so anyone eligible should
apply before then. Waiting times will obviously increase due to a rush
to beat the deadline.

Effectively, those arriving as migrants in 2002
or later, or those married to New Zealanders arriving in 2003 or later,
will be affected by the new laws.

There doesn't seem to be any
concession for time on an LTBV or work permit. No sign yet of a change
to the automatic citizenship by birth rule, but that could come in an
amendment later on.

The most accurate way to determine your cup size is by using your current bra size as a starting point. The cups are sized relative to the band, so if you were to try a smaller band size but keep the same cup size, the cups would be too small. Instead, you must increase the cups by one size for every band that you go down. For example, if you are currently wearing a 34C bra and your underbust measures 31 inches, then you will most likely need a 32D. On a 30 " band, this would be a 30DD etc.
