  sponsor or the principal applicant still lives on
  their individual homes, flat or apartment,

  with another person or third party that has been
  identified to the NZ sponsor or principal
  applicant before or after their marriage or civil
  partnership- In other words, if they are not
  free legally to marry or have a civil union, if
  the application is submitted on the basis of
  marriage and civil union in qualifying for
  partnership category

  through writing or an interview that the

  apply for a resident visa class on the basis of
  partnership category and has not reached a
  duration of 12 months living together, yet the
  INZ officer is satisfied that the partnership
  relationship is genuine and stable. The
  application for a resident visa class of the
  applicant may defer by INZ, and instead would
  rather grant the applicant for a work visa (if
  the application has made already) to come in New
  Zealand and join his sponsor, to continue the
  prequalifying period of living together, and
  recontinue the completion of the assessment
  application for residence visa class.
