Successful Resident Visa Case 21

A male IT professional reached out to Simon through our urgent case service, based on a friend’s recommendation. His work visa application had been declined, leaving him unlawfully in New Zealand. Following his lawyer's advice to depart immediately, he felt unsupported and sought someone who could genuinely resolve his situation.

Once he connected with Simon, we quickly collaborated on his Section 61 application, which was successfully approved. Later, he also engaged Simon’s expertise for his Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) application. Despite INZ’s pause on SMC processing, Simon advised him to submit his Expression of Interest (EOI) regardless—a strategic move. This decision expedited his 2021 resident visa, which was allocated and approved swiftly.

When he came to us in 2020, he was an unlawful resident; by 2022, he had achieved residency in New Zealand. A truly transformative journey!
