Common questions
Why is immigration work quoted per matter?
Because the work varies enormously between a straightforward work visa and a partner application with complex history. You still get the fee in writing for your matter before anything is lodged — there is simply no single figure that would be honest across all of them.
I have received a letter raising concerns about my application. What now?
Do not answer it off the cuff, and do not miss the date. These letters tell you exactly what the concern is, which means that to have a real chance, the response must be properly evidenced and submitted inside the deadline.
My visa application was declined. What options do I have?
That depends heavily on the visa, the reason given and how much time has passed, so the first step is always to read the decision itself. Broadly, the options tend to fall into a few categories: asking Immigration NZ to reconsider the decision, appealing to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal, requesting that Ministerial intervention, or simply making a fresh application that answers the concerns raised the first time. Some of these pathways carry short deadlines, and not all of them are available in every case. Send us the decision letter and we will tell you which are genuinely open to you and which is worth pursuing.
