A client came to us using our paid consultation service, when she realised that her visa was expired and unlawful for more than four weeks without realising. We worked with Immigration New Zealand to sort the issue out and advised her to leave NZ immediately. She left and stayed in Indonesia. We gave her access to our Portal, where she can upload documents and has a direct and private communication channel with our immigration advisor. After working together for many months despite Covid-19, we managed to have her Partnership-based Visitor Visa granted. It is for one year.
A new report reveals that Kiwi-Indian community's economic contribution to New Zealand's economy has peaked at $10 billion in 2019. Once we combine it with other ethnic groups, it would be significant that our migrants are contributing to NZ society.
The Government has announced visa changes to allow temporary migrant workers in New Zealand to continue to fill labour shortages. Employers are still expected to genuinely seek to fill job vacancies with New Zealanders.
When you travel to New Zealand, you need to be in Managed Isolation facility for two weeks. You must sign a form to accept this condition and are asked to show this voucher on arrival to the airport. See below example of the travel voucher.
New Employer-Assisted Temporary Work Visa System will be introduced after mid-2021. It will replace 6 work visas.
New Employer-Assisted Temporary Work Visa System was announced in September 2019, and the implementation is under the progress for its full introduction in 2021. It will have 3 Gates.
A gentleman approached us last year by filling in our Section 61 assessment form. He visited New Zealand many years ago as a visitor then let his visa expired. He was advised by Simon, our CEO, via our secure communication channel where he can securely and privately communicate with Simon. There have been many dramas due to his circumstance. However, he always communicated with Simon and was actively involved in preparing documents. After months of preparation, the decision was made very quickly within a month. Now he is not unlawful any more. After many years of hiding, he does not have to do that any more. A client came to us when her work visa was declined. Her employer's business suffered financially suffered due to the Covid-19, and Immigration NZ did not think her employer can justify the employment.
Since she was on an interim visa and she has three weeks to sort things out. She found Immigration Trust from Googling. She did her due diligence, checking Simon's profile and read every feedback our clients left. Then she made a paid phone consultation with Simon, our CEO. She was advised not to try a reconsideration as he knew there is no chance to get the reconsideration to be approved. She was advised to prepare and apply for section 61. She worked with Simon for many weeks to prepare and collect supporting documents. He applied her section 61 request last month, and today she has a visitor visa (3 months) approved. Great news for our client today! 1 Visa declined, 1 Unlawful, 2 Section 61 refused, self-deported then finally she got her Ministerial Intervention granted. A client came to us after her work visa was declined and became unlawful. It was due to the allegation that she provided false information to support her case. One of two requirements of any visa application INZ will never be lenient on are a medical issue and a character issue. Now she has a character issue. It means her future visa application will be scrutinized and will require a character waiver each time. She immediately engaged with us after she had a paid face to face consultation with Simon. After being unlawful, two Section 61 requests being refused and almost deported but left voluntarily, finally, we managed to have a successful ministerial intervention. It means our client can apply for her future visa without worrying about the fact she was unlawful for many months - successful character waiver. Are you in a similar situation?
