This client's journey was a challenging one. After completing her coursework in India due to the Covid-19 pandemic, she faced a devastating rejection of her Post-Study Work Visa application by Immigration New Zealand (INZ). Her dreams of pursuing a career in New Zealand seemed out of reach. When Simon, our CEO, learned of her situation, he immediately took action. Understanding the urgency, he swiftly sent a letter of engagement and began preparing a robust Application for Reconsideration. The client's proactive involvement and willingness to provide necessary information were key. Together, we built a compelling case, and Simon’s expertise ensured it was presented effectively. The result? Approval of the Work Visa she urgently needed. We’re proud to have turned this case around and wish her every success in her career journey. If you’re facing similar challenges, we’re here to help.   The visa application process can often be overwhelming and confusing, as one of our clients discovered when he faced difficulties extending visitor visas for himself and his young daughter in New Zealand. The primary issue? His sponsor did not meet the financial requirements. Rather than giving up, he took matters into his own hands. After researching his options, he found our firm and realised he needed expert advice to address the situation. He promptly booked a consultation with Simon, our CEO, to discuss his case. Together, they crafted a solid plan to tackle the challenges. The client quickly signed the letter of engagement, ready to move forward. Time was of the essence. He had just two weeks to file a reconsideration application—failing to do so would have rendered him and his daughter unlawful in New Zealand. Thanks to Simon’s expertise and prompt action, the client successfully submitted the application within the deadline. The outcome? His reconsideration was approved, allowing both him and his daughter to stay lawfully in New Zealand. Delighted with the result, the client expressed gratitude for Simon’s support, which turned a stressful situation into a positive resolution.   A client approached us after her employee's work visa had been declined. Cases with prior visa rejections are often high-scrutiny, requiring thorough preparation to address the concerns of case officers. We submitted a fresh work visa application just before the lockdown. However, post-lockdown, Immigration New Zealand requested a market test. Despite our efforts, the case officer was set on declining the application, possibly influenced by the "Kiwi first" policy. Anticipating complications, our client promptly engaged us for a reconsideration request and a Section 61 application. She understood that once her employee became unlawful, the reconsideration would be automatically declined. Acting swiftly, we prepared the reconsideration, submitted it within two weeks, and filed the Section 61 application immediately after the employee became unlawful. Today, we’re thrilled to share that Immigration New Zealand approved both the reconsideration and Section 61 application. The employee now holds a three-year work visa and plans to bring his family to New Zealand.  |
