Successful Partner Visa Case 66

We recently assisted a client from Fiji in successfully securing a partnership-based work visa after obtaining a visa under Section 61 of the Immigration Act 2009.

The client initially faced challenges as they were in New Zealand unlawfully and needed a visa through a Section 61 request. This process, a discretionary decision by Immigration New Zealand (INZ), requires detailed preparation and compelling justification. Our team successfully navigated this complexity, securing the visa and legalising the client’s status.

With their status regularised, the client sought a partnership-based work visa, as their partner is a New Zealand citizen. We provided end-to-end support, including gathering essential documentation to prove the authenticity of their relationship, meticulously preparing the application, and submitting it with a detailed cover letter addressing potential concerns. We maintained close communication with INZ, ensuring all additional information requests were promptly handled.

The partnership-based work visa was approved, allowing the client to build a life in New Zealand with their partner. This success highlights our expertise in complex immigration cases and the value of thorough preparation in achieving favourable outcomes.
