Client J submitted her work visa application by herself; and on rejection became “blacklisted” under S61. Would she still be able to successfully immigrate when she was at risk of being repatriated at any time?

Customer J, from Italy applied for a work visa by herself.  Unfortunately, the result of her application for a work permit was rejected two years ago.  As she no longer had a valid visa, she was blacklisted under Section 61 of INZ.

Client J found IEF through the introduction of a friend, and after our communication and understanding with her, we decided to submit an S61 concession request to INZ on her behalf.

In general, for blacklisted individuals under S61, the Immigration has the right to refuse the request without even considering it. However, IEF overcame all the difficulties, and prepared sufficient materials to prove to the immigration officer as to why the client stayed in New Zealand, and helped the client obtain the concession to be able to resubmit the work permit application.

This time, Client J successfully obtained a valid visa and has been able to stay in New Zealand legally, eliminating her concerns and sweeping away the haze of her visa refusal.

After this, IEF continued to serve Client J, and planned a migration path personalised for her according to her situation. Two years later, IEF successfully helped customer J get a PRV for New Zealand !

IEF used their strengths to prove that the history of refusal does not affect your immigration success if approached and dealt with correctly.

Client M had excellent conditions and his immigration application seemed like it would easily pass, in the eyes of many people. Unexpectedly, he experienced several twists and turns and almost gave up, until he found IEF to help get the case processed successfully.

Client M initially submitted a skilled immigration application, but Immigration NZ quickly issued a “Potentially Prejudicial Information Letter” (PPI) due to the irresponsibility and incorrect guidance of the former service agent. In desperation, client M had to choose to rely on his spouse to resubmit the immigration application. Unexpectedly, Immigration NZ refused to believe the authenticity of the certification materials they submitted, and sent a number of visa officers to conduct telephone surveys and home visits. The result was still unsatisfactory. Later, M found a well-known local law firm and made tremendous efforts to explain the situation to the INZ, and still could not change the decision of the INZ. M tried to seek for help from many other well-known immigration agents, but no one dared to take such a difficult case. At that time, his inner loss and despair can only be imagined.

Finally M found IEF after the recommendation of a friend. After in-depth discussion with client M, we believe that the immigration office only saw the surface of the information, which resulted in their inaccurate views on the case. That could have been the cause of the refusal, we believe. We decided to prepare more convincing materials for it; but due to the difficulty of the case itself and the complexity of the personnel involved, our investigation process was extremely difficult and long.

Due to our due diligence, client M rekindled their inner hopes and gave us full trust. In the end, due to professionalism of our team and enough materials been well prepared, Immigration NZ began to pay attention to this case and agreed to reconsider. In the arguing/auditing process with INZ, IEF comprehensively explained each question raised by the visa officer in a timely and detailed manner, found out minor clues that were ignored during the previous audit, helped INZ to reorganize the case, and dispelled their initial misunderstanding of M. Shortly, client M finally received the long-awaited and hard-to-get immigration application approval letter.

It can be seen from this case that many cases that seem to be difficult for people and even professional immigration agencies can achieve satisfactory results through persistent efforts and careful and meticulous preparation. So, if you have any questions when applying, please contact us, our IEF team will do our best to help with your application!

On the first day of the New Zealand government’s official lockdown, our IEF team got this great news: The S61 case that has been highly questioned by Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has been successfully approved!

A client obtained a chef’s certificate in New Zealand many years ago and worked in three restaurants for five years. The ex-agent that helped the client apply for the Work To Residence visa was questioned by the Immigration Department; afterwards, this agent advised INZ to reconsider this application under the Essential Skills Work Visa category though this agent was apparently not very prepared to do so, which resulted in the visa application declined.

When the client approached IEF for help, we had in-depth communication with the client many times, personally visited the employer to understand the situation, prepared detailed documentation materials, and formed a team of professional senior lawyers to prepare for the S61 application. With the direct guidance of Robson Liang, the case was comprehensively analysed for each issue raised by the Immigration. In the end, with the great cooperation of IEF’s immigration consultants, lawyers, and business team, the S61 application was finally approved by the Immigration, and client obtained a valid visa!
