How We Reinstated Lawful Status for a Partnership-Based Resident Visa via Section 61

At Immigration Trust, we previously assisted a client whose partnership-based resident visa was under serious risk. Her work visa had already expired, leaving her in unlawful status and facing possible deportation.

She reached out to us and booked a paid consultation. Without delay, we prepared a detailed Section 61 request to restore her legal status — and protect her pathway to residency.

What We Achieved:
  • Filed a successful Section 61 work visa request
  • Prevented loss of her resident visa application
  • Restored her lawful immigration status
  • Repositioned her case for residency approval

​Outcome:
Her new work visa was granted, and we resumed her residence application with renewed momentum. Today, she remains on the path to permanent residency — thanks to fast action and the right legal strategy.
​
We’ve Done It Before. We Can Do It Again:
If your visa has expired, or you’ve fallen unlawfully in New Zealand, don’t assume it’s too late. We’ve helped many clients like this one through Section 61, overstayer recovery, and partnership visa complications.
