My husband is a permanent resident in New Zealand and Im trying to?
You do not say which country you are a citizen of. This would greatly help. Why are you visiting instead of living with him? Is your intent to move to New Zealand? Pretty much all the answers you need will be found on the Immigration New Zealand website - have you looked there yet? Better to get the answer from the correct government agency, rather than ask on the internet. Try here: Apply for a visa
