We are delighted to share a recent success story involving a section 61 request approval from Immigration New Zealand (INZ). Our client, who was in a precarious immigration situation, has now secured legal status in New Zealand with our help.

Case Highlights

The client was facing an unlawful status and urgently needed regularization through a Section 61. The request was meticulously prepared and submitted, resulting in a successful approval from INZ. This approval has granted the client legal status, allowing them to remain in New Zealand and plan their future with confidence.

Key Steps to Success

We began with an initial assessment to understand the client's unique situation and the urgency of his need for a section 61 request. Gathering all necessary documentation, we included evidence of the client's background, character, and reasons for remaining in New Zealand. Our team crafted a persuasive submission that clearly outlined the client's case and the compassionate grounds for consideration. Throughout the process, we maintained open lines of communication with INZ to ensure the request was processed smoothly and efficiently.

Importance of Section 61 Requests

Section 61 requests provide a crucial opportunity for individuals without a current visa to regularize their status in New Zealand. This process highlights INZ's capacity to consider humanitarian and compassionate factors when making immigration decisions, offering hope and stability to clients who might otherwise face significant uncertainty and hardship.

Next Steps: Partnership-Based Work Visa

Following the successful section 61 approval, we are now preparing to submit a Partnership-based work visa application for the client. This will enable them to work in New Zealand and continue building their life here with their partner.

What our clients say

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.
