Successful Partner Visa Case 71

After securing a partnership-based work visa for a male client from Tonga, we were re-engaged to assist with his partnership-based resident visa application. With his immigration status stabilised, he was eager to take the next step towards a permanent future in New Zealand with his partner.

Our client initially approached us for help after being unlawful in New Zealand. We successfully regained his legal status through a Section 61 application under the Immigration Act 2009. We then secured a partnership-based work visa, enabling him to live and work in New Zealand while maintaining his relationship with his New Zealand citizen partner.

After meeting the residency eligibility period under the partnership-based work visa, he was ready to apply for a resident visa, providing long-term security for himself and his partner. We leveraged our deep understanding of his case to prepare a compelling application. By presenting strong evidence of their genuine and stable partnership and addressing potential concerns proactively, we ensured a seamless process with Immigration New Zealand.

The partnership-based resident visa was approved without complications, marking a significant milestone for our client. He can now plan a secure future in New Zealand with his partner after years of uncertainty. His journey highlights the value of expert immigration guidance in achieving successful outcomes.
