We recently assisted a Vietnamese client in obtaining a Migrant Exploitation Protection Work Visa (MEPV), a crucial pathway for migrant workers in New Zealand facing exploitation. This visa allows individuals to leave exploitative jobs without jeopardising their visa status. Our client had endured unfair workplace treatment that affected his well-being and sense of security. With the MEPV, he was able to leave his unsafe job and gain the freedom to pursue new employment opportunities without visa-related concerns. We provided end-to-end support, guiding him through the application process and addressing all his questions. By ensuring he met the eligibility criteria outlined in the Immigration Act 2009 and assisting in compiling the required evidence, we submitted a strong application that was swiftly approved. This outcome empowered our client to seek better, safer work opportunities. This case underscores the value of New Zealand’s safeguards for migrant workers. With the right guidance, those facing exploitation can protect their rights and secure a brighter future.

We recently had the privilege of assisting a client who overcame a challenging immigration situation. After successfully supporting her Section 61 request, she approached us again to help secure a work visa in New Zealand. Originally from the UK, our client had faced domestic violence, making her immigration case particularly delicate. Following the success of her Section 61 application, she needed a work visa to continue her journey in New Zealand. With her unique circumstances in mind, we crafted a tailored approach to ensure her application was strong and comprehensive. Our lead adviser, Simon, who was already familiar with her case, ensured every aspect of the work visa process was handled with precision. We reviewed all previous communications and decisions related to her Section 61 approval, provided clear and thorough documentation that highlighted her eligibility, and leveraged our extensive experience handling sensitive cases like hers. Thanks to careful preparation and a personalised approach, her work visa was approved without delay, enabling her to continue working and rebuilding her life in New Zealand.  We recently assisted the Wellington Indian Association in securing work visas for three skilled musicians from India to perform at the 2024 Navratri and Diwali celebrations. Held at the Indian Cultural Centre in Wellington, these events play a vital role in preserving cultural heritage within the local community. The musicians, masters of traditional Indian instruments like the dhol, tabla, and harmonium, were instrumental in creating a vibrant festive atmosphere. Despite challenges with tight timelines and extensive documentation requirements under the Immigration Act 2009, we ensured a seamless process. By working closely with the association, we gathered key documents such as performance invitations, contracts, and evidence of the event’s cultural significance. Our proactive approach ensured the work visas were approved well ahead of the celebrations. The musicians’ performances not only delighted the audience but also strengthened cultural ties between New Zealand and India, showcasing the enduring power of music and tradition.    |
