What was the client profile?

The client approached us for professional advice while grappling with a challenge in New Zealand. His application for a Skilled Migrant Category visa was under scrutiny due to a discrepancy identified by the case officer in aligning the client's job with the designated ANZSCO code. Consequently, the case officer's initial assessment concluded that the client failed to meet the 180 minimum points required for the visa.

What was the immigration concern?

  • ​Professional seeking residence under the Skilled Migrant Category
  • Facing issues with ANZSCO code alignment concerning job responsibilities

What was the course of action?

  • The client engaged in a meticulous consultation with Simon, our CEO, who possesses a profound understanding of the complexities involved in ANZSCO code alignment.
  • Simon, fortified with insights from extensive research and analysis of various Residence Appeal to IPT cases, was well-prepared to logically challenge the case officer’s initial assessment.
  • During the consultation, a comprehensive review of the client’s job responsibilities and their correlation with the ANZSCO code was carried out, establishing a foundation for a persuasive argument.
  • Armed with a robust strategy, Simon embarked on an intense interaction process with the case officer, persistently advocating for a favorable reassessment of the client’s eligibility based on a more aligned interpretation of the ANZSCO code.
  • Through unwavering commitment and strategic advocacy, coupled with the client’s valuable cooperation, the process navigated through intricate stages, consuming nearly three years.
  • Ultimately, Simon’s dedicated efforts and strategic approach culminated in a triumphant conclusion, with the client’s visa receiving the stamp of approval, affirming the success of our aligned ANZSCO code argument.

What was the result?

After a long wait, we got the family’s SMC Resident Visa! The client is now able to stay and live in NZ with his family. 

What the client says

"I would like to express my deep gratitude to Simon and his team for their tireless dedication during the residency process for me and my family. The Skilled Migrant Resident Visa process was handled exceptionally by Simon and his team. They promptly clarified all our doubts, demonstrating exemplary competence, commitment and professionalism to resolve all the challenges that arose during our application. Without their support, we would not have achieved our goal. Therefore, I want to extend my sincere thanks for the excellent work done."
Note: The client and Simon never once met in person and conducted all communications through our advanced IT system. It was due to the restrictions on travelling and meetings because of Covid-19. However, when the restrictions got lifted, our firm decided to continue the no face to face meeting policy after we found out it was more practical and efficient.
