Hi guys, any heads up what happened to them? Did our so smart NZIS got played or this family genuinely [as they said] travelled back where they came from as they said they have good life back home?

NZIS wont let the kiwi kids stay with their overstay parents in NZ.But i see different avatars of theirs in almost same situations.

Mr Skiauteris has been trying to gain residency here for at least 6 years. There is no mention of that in any of the news items I've read. I wonder why?

Furious - Your arguments are really well thought out, aren't they. I am sure you also strongly object to Kiwis going to Thailand and China for dental treatment, because it will compromise the locals. You obviously believe New Zealand can do without immigrants, even one's who come here to pay their own way. With attitudes like yours, we will soon be in a situation where we can no longer sustain employment for anybody. But let's all wake up. We can do without overseas investment and we are happy to kill a couple of people along the way. After all, we have a health system for ourselves only. We do not need anybody else's money or skills. We have 30 million sheep, that'll do.

Furious 114 "They are proven over stayers" - and until the Treaty of Waitangi is fully honoured, so are most pakeha!

Obviously some of you people stupid!!

Why on earth would they indicate that they now intend applying for a "long-term business visa"???? It's obvious that they came here with the intention to stay! Who takes their kid out of school to travel overseas for 4 months - while they're pregnant!??

Ask them what they have actually 'visited' while they were here - I bet they haven't seen anything and just stayed in that house waiting for a visa!

They only fault immigration has now made is giving them a short term visa that allows them to apply for additional visa's while they're here! i.e. the long-term business visa. Immigration hope you don't allow the father any new work visas and also their other child any schooling permits!

They are proven over stayers - HELLO NZ!?!?! WAKE UP!! For goodness sakes get them out of here!

concered kiwi #110 and others who want to throw her out. Fair call - and do the same to all descendants of people who came without legal documentation.

this lady wants to go back home.. Quite sad actually, saw it on the news. For those thinking it's for residency or whatever.. Get a life.. She's pregnant.. For her sake and her baby's sake, get her to stay until the baby is born.

I suspect that this couple would actualy pay the maternity cost after giving birth. They might say that it is the insurance company's job not theirs. And now, they are talking about long term business visa? What about yesterday interview where the pregnant said they would leave after the birth?

I feel that the immigration got wrong people. They should have allowed the Korean woman to have a baby here instead. The Korea woman applied student visa which means that she will be here studying more than 2years~3years paying full tuition plus high living cost. She offered full maternity cost upfront. She said that she is not asking anyting for free!!! She will contribute huge to New Zealand (ie. we are talking about hundreds of thousand dollars here)

It is a joke to the world that we are so out of touch.

get this women and her family out of new zealand, it ill only be a matter of time before she's sponging off our govt,what next? the rest of the family turn up 4 months preg's on a visitor visa and taking advantage of amazing country, it's ours and i dont think we should share it with anyone... remember %100 pure nz

These people are a joke. They came to New Zealand knowing she was pregnant as VISITORS in January. They could have left at anytime after arriving. Instead they stayed on, and have been here for over 5 months! In that time they have become overstayers and refused to leave. Sure they can have baby here and pay for the cost but once that is over they should be kicked out of the country.

They have indicated they are applying for a Long Term Business Visa. You people are being taken for a ride if you don't believe their first intention wasn't to live in NZ and to just "visit"!!!!

It would be a lot different if these people were students or workers who have been in New Zealand for many years and fell pregnant here, and had been contributing in someway to New Zealand.

These people came here pregnant already! And obviously on purpose. The media hype and wronglyfelt sympathy is exactly what they want. Or maybe we should just open the floodgates and let every tom dick and harry turn up to New Zealand and have their children here, then be granted permits on sympathetic grounds.

NZ is going to the dogs because of PC pansies.
