Successful Deportation Case 5

A past mistake nearly derailed our client’s dream of living in New Zealand. His permanent residency application was declined, and he received a deportation liability notice (DLN), jeopardising his future in the country. Undeterred, he turned to our firm for help.

The client’s character became a key issue, as past actions raised significant concerns under New Zealand’s immigration policies. With the DLN threatening deportation, his case required a precise, strategic approach to overcome these barriers.

Simon, our licensed immigration advisor, identified the need to address the client’s character concerns as central to overturning the DLN. He crafted a robust character waiver and a request to suspend the DLN, backed by extensive evidence, including character references, proof of community contributions, and documentation of rehabilitation efforts. Simon also directly responded to the DLN, presenting a compelling argument to Immigration New Zealand (INZ) that highlighted the client’s positive changes and his value to the community.
​
After months of uncertainty, INZ granted the suspension of the DLN, allowing the client to remain in New Zealand. With this major milestone achieved, he can now focus on securing his resident visa and building his future. This success highlights our commitment to turning challenges into opportunities and helping our clients realise their dreams of a life in New Zealand.
