A couple of years ago, a Brazilian woman married to a New Zealand resident approached us after her partnership-based resident visa application was at risk of being declined due to character concerns. Initially handled by another licensed immigration adviser, the case became too complex, prompting the adviser to recommend seeking more experienced assistance. By the time we were engaged, the application was already under final assessment, and the visa was ultimately declined. The couple found our services through a Google search and booked a consultation with Simon, our CEO. During this session, Simon carefully reviewed the case and immediately proposed appealing the declined decision to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal (IPT). Despite setbacks, including the visa's expiration and the applicant becoming unlawful during the waiting period, Simon acted swiftly. He guided the client in filing a Section 61 request, managed multiple PPI responses, and prepared a strong character waiver submission supported by compelling documentation. After successfully appealing to the IPT, the case was flagged for reassessment by Immigration New Zealand (INZ). Despite the challenges, including contracting COVID during the process, the client's partnership-based resident visa was eventually approved. The entire journey, spanning two and a half years, highlights the importance of expertise, attention to detail, and persistence in navigating complex immigration cases. This case exemplifies success in overcoming declined partnership visa decisions, character waivers, and unlawful status, leading to a favourable outcome for our client.   A family emergency required this client to urgently leave his job in New Zealand to return to India. Believing he could resume his full-time role upon his return, he was instead offered only casual work. This unexpected change led him to seek new employment, inadvertently breaching his visa conditions. The client is an Indian male with an NZ citizen partner. He was on an Essential Skills Work Visa and held a pending application for the 2021 Resident Visa. He scheduled a paid consultation with Simon, our CEO, to discuss the breach and explore solutions. Following the consultation, he signed the letter of engagement, paid the initial instalment, and communicated with us through our secure online portal to manage his 2021 RV application. Simon addressed the client’s character issue with the case officer related to the visa breach. After several months, his 2021 Resident Visa was successfully granted!  In 2021, a client faced a daunting challenge while applying for a Work to Residence Visa for New Zealand due to a past character issue. Disheartened, he sought guidance from our CEO, Simon, whose expertise in New Zealand immigration law and policy proved instrumental. Simon meticulously guided the client through the complex process of obtaining a character waiver and preparing a flawless visa application. Together, they overcame numerous obstacles and delays, with the client staying determined to achieve his dream of building a new life in New Zealand. After months of anticipation, the client received the life-changing news: his resident visa was approved. This marked the beginning of an exciting chapter in a country full of opportunities.
