We recently had the pleasure of assisting a client from Fiji in securing a partnership-based work visa after successfully obtaining a visa under Section 61 of the Immigration Act 2009. Here’s a detailed look at this successful case.
Initial Challenge
The client was initially in New Zealand unlawfully and required a visa through a Section 61 request.
Section 61 Request Success
Our client approached us for help with a Section 61 request, which is a discretionary decision by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) to grant a visa to someone who is in New Zealand unlawfully. This request can be complex and requires thorough preparation and strong justification. We successfully secured a visa for the client under Section 61, allowing him to stay in the country legally.
Transition to Partnership-Based Work Visa
With his visa status regularised, our client wanted to apply for a partnership-based work visa. His partner is a New Zealand citizen, which made him eligible for this type of visa. Here’s how we assisted her in this transition:
Gathering Documentation: We helped the client compile all necessary documentation to prove the genuineness of her relationship with her New Zealand citizen partner.
Application Preparation: Our team meticulously prepared the application, ensuring all required information was accurate and complete. We highlighted the stability and authenticity of their relationship, essential for a successful partnership-based visa application.
Lodging the Application: We submitted the partnership-based work visa application on behalf of our client, providing a comprehensive cover letter that addressed potential concerns and underscored the strength of their partnership.
Follow-up and Support: Throughout the process, we maintained open communication with INZ, promptly responding to any additional requests for information and providing updates to our client.
Outcome
Our client’s partnership-based work visa was approved, allowing him to continue his life in New Zealand alongside his partner. This success story not only highlights our expertise in handling complex immigration cases but also the importance of thorough preparation and detailed documentation in securing a positive outcome.
