Refugee Family Support CategoryNew Zealand is right now the land of opportunity. It is clearly on its way to growth economically and hence encourages people to come live and contribute to its growing economy. What about refugees? New Zealand is willing to home even refugees. It has a special provision for residency even for refugees. New Zealand extends its warmth to refugees under the refugee family support category. It invites refugees along with their families to obtain residency in New Zealand and find their home there. Every year New Zealand becomes home to over 300 residents who were at one point of time refugees.In order to apply for residency under the refugee family support category, one needs to qualify based on the need requirements that the immigration office set. In order to bring your family to New Zealand under the provision of refugee family support, you need to follow three steps. The first being, you will have to sponsor them, second being, your registration will need to be selected and third your family member will also be required to apply for residency. The registration system under the refugee family support is mainly of two types. One gets higher priority than the other. Since the system is in two tiers, the tier one receives more importance. Tier one are the cases that need to be looked at immediately. There is urgency in getting a family member to New Zealand. Since the first tier is given more importance, the 300 names will be chosen from it, only if there are any more spots available will names be chosen from the second tier. The names will be put in a ballot and the ones that are selected will be invited to apply for residency in New Zealand. The process is fairly simple. If you are looking to bring your family under this category, you have to cross your fingers and pray that they are amidst the 300 selected names.
