【父母团聚】新西兰父母团聚移民
一、申请资格
If you are the parent(s) of a New Zealand citizen or resident, who has been a New Zealand resident for at least three years, you may be eligible to join them in New Zealand under our Parent Category.
是新西兰公民或永久居民担保人的父母，并且担保人已经在新西兰居住满3年。
先要提交EOI（将会被划分成两套不同要求的政策进行评估，第一类EOI（Tier One）将被首先选取及评审，在T1审理后如有剩余配额，2012年5月15日前递交的申请将被审理；如仍有剩余名额，第二类EOI（Tier Two）将被选取及评审。）---------------每组的要求请见后面tier one 和tier two的要求。
The Parent Category is a two tier scheme where people can submit an EOI under either tier one or tier two of the category. Tier one has the first priority and has higher income and financial requirements than tier two. Applications lodged under the previous Family Parent Category take second priority. Tier two EOI and applications are processed only after tier one and applications lodged under the previous instructions.
排队状态：
2011年7月到2014年6月的家庭团聚类配额是14850-16500个。
The queue of tier one EOIs is currently estimated to be six months（1组的要排队6个月）.
The queue of existing applications lodged under the previous Parent Category is currently estimated to be five years.（先前的2012年5月15日前递交的申请case处理要5年）
The queue of tier two EOIs is estimated to be up to seven years.（二组的要7年）
This is the approximate length of time it could take for your EOI to be selected from the Pool. （排队时间指的是从EOI池子里挑选出来的时间）These timeframes could change depending on how many tier one EOIs are received.
A draw will take place every three months. The number of places available in the draw will depend on the number of places available under the New Zealand Residence Programme.
Once allocated, the average processing timeframe is four to six months, but this can be longer depending on issues that have to be assessed, such as health. Please note that the times given for allocation and decision are indicative only and may be subject to change.
一旦加入评估，平均的评估时间大概为6个月。
If you think you are able to meet the requirements of tier one, you may be eligible to have your application fee waived if you re-apply. You will still need to submit an EOI and pay the EOI fee first. If you are invited to apply, your application fee will be waived. Only people applying under Tier One will be eligible for this fee waiver, not those applying under Tier Two.
