Successful Section 61 Case 49 (Unlawful)

This client arrived in New Zealand on a student visa, embracing opportunities for education and growth. Transitioning to a work visa, he further cemented his contributions to the country. However, a missed deadline on a critical renewal day left him in unlawful status.

Faced with this daunting reality, he sought our help and consulted with Simon, our CEO. Recognising the urgency, Simon swiftly prepared a meticulously crafted Section 61 request, highlighting the client’s unique circumstances and contributions to New Zealand.

After months of effort and anxious waiting, Immigration New Zealand approved the request. This success not only restored the client’s legal status but also showcased the power of expertise and determination in navigating complex immigration challenges.
