I have fallen for a girl from russia who means the world to me, i have every intention of being with her for the rest of my life..unfortunately her current job is not on the job shortage list, and having dealt with nz immigration before i know this could be a real problem getting her permanent residency.
can anyone give me advice to help guide us through the immigration process? thanks.

Are you planning to marry or live together soon? At some point the partnership visa will be your best option if she can;t apply in her own right based on skills and at that time you will need to prove that you have been in a stable and legitimate relationship.
Until then she would have to look at normal temporary visa options like work or study visas probably. It is difficult to assess without all the facts.
