Move to New Zealand: Live Seminar with a Licensed NZ Immigration Adviser
Thinking about moving to New Zealand? For the first time ever, a licensed New Zealand immigration adviser is coming to the Midwest to answer your questions face-to-face.
I'm Tara Hulbert, founder of KiwiAmericans. In 2013 my husband and I moved our four kids from Wisconsin to New Zealand, and I've since helped hundreds of American families make the same move. On October 10, I'm bringing Paul — a licensed NZ immigration adviser — to Schaumburg so you can walk out knowing whether you qualify and what it would actually take, instead of spending months guessing online.
Schedule 
9:45 AM — Doors open 
10:00 AM — Move to New Zealand Seminar 
11:00 AM — Live Q&amp;A 
11:30 AM — VIP private chat with Paul 
12:00 PM — Depart
Who it's for: Anyone seriously curious about moving to New Zealand — families, professionals, teachers, nurses, tradespeople, retirees, and anyone who's been wondering "could we actually do this?"

Only 95 seats. Register at the link below.
