Red Tape
« on: November 26, 2011, 04:36:37 PM »
  Is it me?  I am currently applying to emigrate to New Zealand, have sent all required documentation to NZ Immigration Dept, including marriage certificate. I have been married for over 30 years...........not enough apparently. They now want photographs of us together, utility bills and joint bank statements as well of details of holidays we have spent together within the last 5 years.  eastdrink048 confused2: Yargh: eastdrink048
I started my life with nothing and I still have most of it left
