After around 20 hours of work, ten passport-sized photos, two trips to the doctor's office, thirty international emails, three phone calls to the consulate office, and countless details sorted, Kathryn and I have submitted our visa applications to work and live in New Zealand!
All in all, I'm guessing it was around 100 pieces of paper!
Between the people in New Zealand that we know and the information we have found online, it appears that approval for visas will take between two weeks to three months! We are praying that it is much closer to the former than the latter- please pray with us!
Depending on when we get these back, we hope to move to NZ in early to mid January! This would give us time to get settled a bit before students arrive on campus in early March!
We have enjoyed learning more and more about the people and culture that we are moving to; we have especially enjoyed their unique sense of humor. The following video is a great example of that, we hope to watch it on the plane soon!
