From Unlawful to Lawful: Section 61 Approved
​After Years Without a Visa

A gentleman living in New Zealand without a valid visa reached out to Immigration Trust by completing our Section 61 assessment form. He had originally entered the country on a visitor visa, but it had expired years ago, leaving him in an unlawful immigration status.

Personalised Guidance Through a Complex Case
Simon, our CEO and licensed immigration adviser, managed the case personally through our secure communication platform. This ensured complete privacy while allowing the client to receive direct, expert guidance every step of the way.

Despite the complexity of his situation—including time overstayed and documentation gaps—he remained fully committed. Working closely with Simon, he helped prepare a detailed and strategic Section 61 request backed by strong justification.

The Result: A Life Without Fear
After months of preparation, we submitted his Section 61 request. The decision came in under a month—and it was approved. He is now lawfully in New Zealand and no longer living in fear of detention, removal or deportation.
