Hi there,

Here is my situation:

Existing open work permit issued through IEC program from New Zealand expires on 7th of July 2013
Will apply for visitor visa before 7th of July 2013
Entered a common law relationship in February 2013. I want to apply for common law sponsorship next year February 2014 so that I can apply for Permanent Residency eventually.

Is there a threshold amount that I need to show I have in my bank account before I apply to stay as visitor?
I have asked for visitor visa for over a year (since my common law application stage 1 will take 6months from february next year to get processed).

Are there any issues with the time frame I have requested, if I write a letter of explanation to explain my situation above?

I have a hunch that there is a ratio that the immigration people use to calculate length of stay with the funds shown in the application. I am trying to figure out what that number would be if there was one?

Regards to all,
 
Not that I know of for TRV, however it must be reasonable to cover your basic expenses such as food, groceries, rent, transportation, etc
