A client came to us after submitting his work to residence work visa himself. His case officer had challenged him for his drink-drive situation.
Typically any drink-drive will raise a red flag for any immigration officer. Based on what and how it happened, it would be the factor to decline the entire application. We worked with our client to collect supporting documents to apply for his character waiver, which was escalated to the manager of his case officer. Finally, this after we received an email with his visa approved. Since he was on the interim visa and his wife and a child were dependent on this result, it was a very critical moment when he approached us. Now he is engaging with us for his resident visa application with another character waiver application.

Currently, Immigration NZ's workforce has been focused on border control. During the lockdown, almost every immigration officer could not work. Therefore there are so many backlogs to be cleared out.
If INZ continues selecting EOIs, it will have more problems as there will be a long queue. It is not professional when the immigration officers are still dealing with applications submitted in Jan to March 2019 right now. Therefore, INZ deferred its EOI selection so it will have time to catch up with applications which have been sitting there for almost 2 years. We advised our clients to prepare and submit their EOIs and wait for the selection. As soon as INZ resumes the selection, our clients' EOIs will be the front of the queue. Even if you are qualified for SMC, if you are in a relationship with a NZ resident or citizen, we advise you to consider going for the Partnership based resident visa applications. It is because immigration officers are still processing the partner visas in Hamilton. It is also one of the priorities. More importantly, its processing time is much faster - around 10 months at this stage. As you would aware, Partnership based visa category is one of the most scrutinizing visa categories by Immigration New Zealand. It is just so because many people abused the visa category. Please read below examples. http://immigrationtrust.com/PartnerVisa-Declined1 http://immigrationtrust.com/PartnerVisa-Declined However, we, Immigration Trust, has been quite successful in many partnership-based Visa Applications. We have been considered as one of the experts in "Partnership Visa Category". See our most recent success with one of our clients' Partnership based Work Visa. Our client had some medical issue, but we over-prepared so the case officer did not have to ask any clarification and made this swift decision. We had some clients asked us to submit their applications as quickly as possible. We advise them the time and effort putting into the preparation will be paid off in the long run. This case is the prime example. It was submitted 5 weeks ago, but we prepared the application for a few months.  |
