Types of Complex Cases
Learn about the different complex immigration cases that we handle.
S61 Request (Overstayed Visa Assistance)
- The S61 request helps those who've stayed in New Zealand longer than allowed on their visas.
- Even though they've broken the rules, this request gives them a chance to apply for a new visa legally.
- It's a complex process and needs a solid application because it's the only option after overstaying.
- To succeed, applicants must show strong reasons for overstaying and how they'll follow immigration rules in the future.
PPI/RFI Response
- Responding to Potentially Prejudicial Information (PPI) or a Request for Information (RFI) from Immigration NZ is a vital step in the visa application process.
- When Immigration NZ asks for more info or finds something that might not be good for your application, you need to respond. This means giving extra details or explaining things better to clear up any worries they have.
- Your response needs to be clear, and quick and include proof to back up what you're saying.
Visa Appeal Support
- Visa Appeal Support includes helping people appeal when their visa application gets rejected.
- We look closely at the first application to find out what went wrong and gather more proof to support our case.
- We need to address the reasons why the visa got turned down and make a stronger argument to Immigration New Zealand.
Character Waiver Guidance
- We offer help to people who have had problems in their past that might affect their visa application.
- This could be things like having been in trouble with the law or having other character issues that need to be told to Immigration New Zealand.
- We work on putting together an application to ask for a waiver, showing Immigration New Zealand why they should still give the person a visa despite what happened before.
IPT Appeal
- An Immigration and Protection Tribunal Appeal (IPT Appeal) is when you disagree with Immigration New Zealand's decisions, like rejecting your visa or telling you to leave the country.
- To challenge this, you need to carefully check your original application, show new proof, and argue why the decision should change.
- It is a case where you have to know the immigration rules and convince the Tribunal to agree with you.
Refugee Family Support Resident Visa
- This visa helps refugees in New Zealand bring their families from other countries to live with them.
- To apply, you have to prove you're related and that you can take care of your family once they're here.
- It needs navigating through complex laws and humanitarian considerations and to convince why your family needs to be together again.
Deportation Defence
- Deportation Defence is where we help people who are being told to leave New Zealand.
- We provide legal help to fight against being sent away, showing why they should stay based on their connections to New Zealand, what they've done for the community, and any humanitarian reasons that may apply.
- It's a complicated legal fight where we need to be good at arguing to make sure our client's rights are protected.
