When love knows no borders, the journey to being together can be long and full of challenges. One of our most remarkable cases started with a heartbreaking visa decline and ended in a triumphant approval. This is the story of a couple who never gave up—and the persistence that finally led to a partnership-based resident visa in New Zealand. A Difficult Beginning: Ministerial Intervention The couple first approached us after Immigration New Zealand (INZ) declined the applicant’s visa. Their case was complex, and their options seemed limited. Faced with the harsh reality of separation, they sought a ministerial intervention—an exceptional request for reconsideration at the highest level. Ministerial interventions are rare and only granted in special circumstances, making it a challenging path. However, we believed in their relationship and their right to be together. A Long and Arduous Visa Journey After months of waiting and meticulous preparation, the intervention was approved, allowing the applicant to stay in New Zealand temporarily. However, this was just the beginning. We then worked closely with them to prepare a strong partnership-based visa application. Given the previous decline, we knew INZ would scrutinise every detail. Throughout the process, we helped them gather comprehensive relationship evidence, address INZ’s concerns, and ensure that all documentation was watertight. Each step took time—more than usual—due to the complexity of their case. Multiple requests for additional information and further assessments meant that their journey stretched over an extended period. The Final Victory: Partnership-Based Residence Approved After years of patience, determination, and legal expertise, we finally received the news: her partnership-based resident visa was approved! The couple can now live together permanently in New Zealand, free from the stress and uncertainty that had plagued them for so long. Their case stands as a testament to perseverance and the importance of seeking expert immigration guidance. While their journey was longer than most, the outcome was exactly what they had hoped for—a life together in New Zealand.
