How about some planning?

I see this woman has been granted a medical waiver to allow her to stay in New Zealand. Which is great, as it would have been very cruel to send her away.

But what stunned me was the fact that the couple has gotten married in the Phillipines, come back to New Zealand and "assumed Evangeline's application for residency would go smoothly".

Um, how about making sure you've got all your residency sorted before starting a family? Wouldn't you want to be extra careful so that there was no chance of your family getting split up?
