A Client's Path to Staying in New Zealand

Our firm recently secured a successful outcome for a male client who was facing the possibility of deportation due to a previous misstep in his visa application process. After years of contributing positively to New Zealand society, our client was served a Deportation Liability Notice (DLN). However, with a compelling case and strong evidence, we managed to have this notice cancelled, allowing him to continue building his life in New Zealand.

Background of the Case

Our client arrived in New Zealand over a decade ago, striving to build a new life through education and hard work. Unfortunately, an error from a previous immigration advisor led to the non-disclosure of a past visa denial, which later resulted in the issuance of the DLN. Despite this setback, our client has been an asset to New Zealand, contributing in various capacities, including offering essential services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Overcoming Adversity

Throughout his time in New Zealand, our client faced significant personal challenges, including being a victim of domestic violence, which led to struggles with depression and alcohol dependency. A single drink-driving incident became a turning point in his life, motivating him to seek help through alcohol counselling and regular attendance at counsellings and meetings. His commitment to rehabilitation and self-improvement was a crucial element of the case.

Family and Community Support

In addition to his personal efforts, our client had strong support from his family and community. His role as a supportive partner and parent, along with letters from employers and community members, were key factors in demonstrating his importance to those around him. This solidified the humanitarian grounds for reconsidering his deportation.

The Outcome

After submitting a detailed case highlighting the humanitarian aspects, including the significant hardships our client had overcome, the Immigration New Zealand office reviewed the request and agreed to cancel the Deportation Liability Notice. This decision has allowed our client to continue living in New Zealand, supporting his family, and contributing to the community.

Conclusion

This case highlights how even in the face of serious challenges, a well-prepared application can make a difference. By gathering strong evidence, demonstrating personal growth, and showcasing the support of the community, we were able to achieve a successful outcome for our client.
