Permanent Residence in New Zealand

Well folks, it is official. Yesterday, on the last day of IWT Fiji, I received notification that I have been approved for Permanent Residency in New Zealand. I never knew how happy a letter from immigration could make me feel. Now I just have to send off my passport to get stamped, pay the immigration department more money, and then it is official. I will be a permanent resident of New Zealand. It looks like full on season change is upon us.
