The New Zealand immigration process can be very complicated, with a variety of different visa options and pathways, and an overwhelming number of rules. It is very easy to go wrong and to end up in a very difficult situation. Our team specialises in fixing problems, big or small for both Residence and Temporary Visas.
Years of expertise to help you out of a tight spot
Sometimes things don’t work out the way you planned and you may end up without a Visa, the wrong Visa or be at risk of your pending Visa application being declined. In most cases these issues arise due to a lack of knowledge on the part of the of the applicant (not surprising because the Visa process is complex) or something happening that is outside of your control. You might lose your job, have a relationship break up or simply misread the rules that apply to your application.
Being in New Zealand unlawfully or having INZ threaten to decline your Visa application can be emotionally distressing, financially disastrous and have significant impacts on you and your family. In many cases simple mistakes can lead to significantly bigger problems and so any attempt to fix the problem has to happen quickly. If you find yourself in a difficult spot Visa-wise, you should seek assistance right away.
How Can We Help?
Visa issues can range from becoming unlawful due to a Visa expiring, through to being in breach of your Visa conditions. In some cases people may have issues they aren’t even aware of, particularly if they are not complying with the conditions imposed on the Visa they hold. We often hear of people who have changed courses, moved jobs or had a relationship breakup - all issues that can impact on the Visa you hold and your ability to continue holding it.
The first step in sorting these issues out is often to identify what the problem is, how did you get there and how can you get out of it.
Our team can unravel these often very complicated situations using a wealth of experience in navigating the Visa process. We can work with you to establish what the issue is, provide clear advice as to the remedial steps to take and also give you the correct information to ensure you are doing everything you can to remain compliant. If you have found yourself stuck, thinking this might be the end of the road for you in New Zealand, contact us today for a confidential discussion as to how we might be able to help.
