if waiting for 176 approval, can we WHV to NZ?

Hi Everyone

 

Well we put our 176 family sponsor visa app in in Dec 08 and we are now waiting to know whether we will ever get processed, and quite franclly going out of our minds while we wait for an answer!

 

We were thinking we could maybe go to NZ on a WHV for a year while we wait as we have already used up our OZ WHV, is this something you can do while awaiting for the application to be processed or do you have to stay in UK?

 

We were thinking we could pop over to OZ a few times to see my sister while were in NZ, as she is due to have a baby and we were hoping to be settled in OZ when it arrives but thats not gonna happen now!

 

We just want to do anything but stay in the miserable UK and wait for a potential yes which may not happen anyways!

 

Is anyone else having the same thoughts?

 

Thanks
