She is no specific person. She is simply a European woman. As the other person on the coats of arms is a Maori warrior, having a European woman also on the coat of arms merely signifies European/Maori and male/female unity/equality. The woman is not meant to represent Queen Elizabeth II. The monachy is represented by the crown (it is the St Edward's Crown used at QEII's coronation) which is above the shield between the male and female figures.

Go to the New Zealand Citizenship website and the Immigration website. They will provide you with a great deal of information, as well as where to go to seek further information on your (your husband's) eligibility for New Zealand residence and/or citizenship.\n\nYou do not say whether your father-in-law is still alive, still lives in New Zealand, was ever a NZ citizen, or where your husband was born, and if his birth was registered with the NZ government, etc. Keep in mind that New Zealand has some interesting citizenship rules that can exclude automatic rights to citizenship for people born outside of New Zealand, even if their parent(s) are NZ citizens. A lot depends on how citizenhip was acquired and where the respective people were born.\n\nHowever, the citizenship site gives clear guidelines on who can claim NZ nationality and provides the various forms to do so. If your husband is eligible for citizenship, then you will need to apply for permanent residence based on being his wife; the immigration site provides all relevant information regarding that.\n\nIf, after looking thru those sites you still have unanswered questions, then you should call your local NZ Embassy/High Commission and seek an interview.
