Client outcomes
Real pathways and outcomes from families we have supported.
Australia Visitor Visa – Subclass 600 Tourist Stream
After two previous Australian visa refusals and concerns about previously undeclared Canadian and United States visa refusals, the applicant successfully obtained an Australian Visitor visa. Following a transparent explanation and the submission of additional supporting evidence, the visa was approved in approximately two weeks.
China Special Work Visa – Chinese Cuisine Chef
An experienced Chinese cuisine chef successfully obtained a 3-year New Zealand work visa. Through careful preparation of her occupational certificate, employment history and supporting evidence, the application was approved in approximately five weeks.
Accredited Employer Work Visa – Painter
Mr G applied for an Accredited Employer Work Visa as a Painter. Immigration New Zealand later raised concerns about whether his overseas employer was permitted to undertake painting and interior decoration work, as the occupation was not specifically shown on the company’s business licence. We researched the relevant Chinese business registration regulations, explained the legal and practical context, and submitted further evidence confirming his genuine work experience. His five-year work visa was successfully approved.

Common questions
Clear answers to questions we hear most often — general guidance only; your situation may differ.
Processing times vary by visa type, employer accreditation status, and application completeness. We help you understand current INZ timeframes and prepare a complete application to avoid unnecessary delays.
Many work and student visa categories allow partners to apply for their own work or visitor visas. Eligibility depends on your visa type, skill level, and relationship evidence. We assess your situation and outline realistic options.
Dependent children of work and student visa holders may be eligible to study as domestic or international students, depending on your visa conditions. We advise on school enrolment requirements and dependent child visa pathways.
Yes — many clients use study pathways toward post-study work visas and then residence. The right course, provider, and location matter for long-term outcomes. We help map study choices to your residence goals.
A decline is not always the end of the pathway. We review the decision, identify whether a new application, appeal, or alternative visa is appropriate, and advise on next steps with licensed immigration guidance.
New Zealand law requires licensed immigration advice for most paid immigration assistance. Using a licensed adviser helps ensure your application is prepared correctly and in line with current immigration instructions.
