新西兰急.. Working holiday visa to Work visa problem (urgent)
在新西兰
Hi,
I am holding a working holiday visa (expiry date on 8 Jul,2011), I get a job in Auckland and Today I submit the work visa application form.
Let’s say I join this company on 14 Mar, normally I can work with them until 14 June due to the limitation of WHV (can work with the same employer for only three months).
I don’t think NZ immigration will approve my work visa before 14 June (normally need two weeks), I mean I don’t have valid work visa to work with my current company starting from 15 June..
Then what should I do?? Keep working without visa??
Please help…
As I get my employer’s fully support on this work visa application and surely I will get the visa finally. However there is a case that Immigration may refuse to approve my work visa because I work with the company without a valid visa after 14 June.. it is illegal.. right?
What should I do?
U can use Chinese to reply (preferred), thanks very much.

有沒有人可以幫幫忙?
我相信這個情況並不一定限於working holiday visa..
就如你現在的有效工作簽証下星期二到期, 但你今天才submit work visa application. 在immigration 未批這個visa之前, 星期三時該怎麽辨?
假設照常上班, 有點害怕immigration 會因為我在下星期三後非法工作而去否定我今一次的申請, 怎辦?
just check some information on immigration website http://dol.govt.nz/immigration/knowledgebase/item/1111
If you wish to work longer than your work visa allows, you will need to apply for a further work visa, before your current one expires.
字面上話"在我現有的visa到期之前, 我要去申請一個新的visa". 而不是"I need to get a further work visa before my current on expires".
Any advise?

我认识个朋友也是WHV成功转成工签的CASE...不过是找中介做的啦。

要看你的学历和现在做的工作是否对口，如果不对口，很可能会被拒签。

如果在6月14号之前你的工签没有下，你需要暂停你的工作。
或者还有一个办法，就是跟老板说付现金，因为签证的问题。。
评论
等工签绝对不能工作，否则以后移民的时候被查出来很麻烦，我以前有个朋友就是这样的状况，后来找律师解释了一下，才勉强通过。
以前我在inz网站上有查过，但是忘记网址了，原话的意思就是在等工签的时候不可以工作。
如果真缺那么点工资的话，让你老板付cash吧。要不就老老实实在家里等工签下来。话说co一般情况不会去公司调查。
Employing a person without a work visa
Under the Immigration Act 2009 (and the Immigration Act 1987), an employer must not employ a foreign national who is not entitled to work in New Zealand or for that employer. This applies whether or not the employer knew that the foreign national was not entitled to work.
The maximum penalty for allowing a foreign national who is not entitled to work in the employer’s service to do that work is a fine of $10,000.
The maximum penalty for allowing or continuing to allow a foreign national to work while knowing that person is not entitled to work is a fine of $50,000.
The maximum penalty for exploitation of a foreign national whom the employer has allowed to work while knowing that person was not entitled to work is:
imprisonment for seven years, or
a fine of $100,000, or
both.
It is, therefore, very important to only employ a person who is entitled to work for a particular employer. Find out more about employer obligations.
More information on work entitlements and work visa processes can be found via the following Answers:
"I am a NZ employer. Who can work for me?"
"How do I employ an overseas person?"

感激你們的意見. 但是為時已晚, 明天我便是黑工上班了.. 唉
其實真係唔太清楚拿住working holiday visa 那個三個月期限的重要性, 明明簽證是在8 July 到期..
這份工作是我的專業所以工簽是十拿九穩的.
跟來的兩個星期工作已經排好, 如果現在提出這個問題老闆一定小到我飛天.
出cash我嘗試明早提一提, 不過老闆都未必會冒這個風險. 試試明早聯絡 immigration盼有轉機吧.

仲 pending 緊, 老闆send 了 letter 要求快些.
這兩天我都有返工, 可能老闆不知道嚴重性, 仲叫我鎮定些.
想問出如果是出cash, 那麽 Tax 怎樣算?
抑或提議跟下星期的薪水一齊算?
