Successful Partner Visa Case 9

A client recently booked a paid phone consultation with Simon regarding her complex visa situation. She was understandably stressed, having failed to declare a previous student visa decline to another country in all her New Zealand visa applications. There were also other complications we cannot disclose.

After engaging our services, we meticulously prepared and submitted her Partnership-Based Resident Visa application in October last year. Impressively, a case officer was assigned in January, which is considered a fast allocation for such applications. We believe this was due to submitting a complete and well-prepared application.

However, as many know, submitting an application is just the beginning. Once the case officer was assigned, we received eight requests, including three Potentially Prejudicial Information (PPI) letters and five additional requests for clarification. Each time, Simon worked closely with the client to prepare timely responses. After seven months of back-and-forth, her resident visa was approved today.

It’s increasingly common for Partnership-Based Resident Visa applications to involve multiple PPIs, as case officers strive to verify the credibility of the evidence provided.

If you're preparing your application, remember that the real challenge often begins after submission. Don’t be disheartened by multiple PPIs—it’s now a standard part of the process. Working with an experienced professional can make all the difference in ensuring a successful outcome.
