I did this 15 years ago (USA to NZ). We did a bit of research on what it takes to get Permanent Residence. I could have gotten a work visa instead and applied for PR later, but I wanted the assurance that PR gives. There's a points system, and I didn't have quite enough points without a job offer, so I took a trip to NZ and got one. No one will want to talk to you about a job while you're still overseas - you won't get far without being there, I know.

That's a shame, the last thing I wanted to do was have to separate from my family for so long.
