Step 2 - Residence Visa Processing

You only receive one opportunity to make a positive impression.

Success is only possible with the presentation of a 100% complete & correct application. By choosing the right kind of professional help, you can greatly improve your likelihood of being granted a residence visa.

YOUR CASE CONSULTANT

Once you have given instructions to proceed, a case consultant will be assigned to your individual file and they will be responsible for processing your entire residence visa application.

Your case consultant is supported by a team of immigration legal advisors who will research the relevant immigration regulations and official procedure manuals to determine the appropriate course of action to achieve residence status.  Potential problems or complications will be clarified and, where possible, promptly resolved.

Your case consultant will supervise the preparation of a fully documented visa application in accordance with the current immigration regulations. Submissions to support your application will be promptly co-ordinated and checked for suitability, including the translation and legislation of documentation and careful coordination of time sensitive documents such as medical tests, language tests and police reports.

OFFICIAL QUALIFICATION AND TRADES RECOGNITION

A critical part of the immigration process involves arranging for your qualifications to be officially recognised by the relevant academic or industry assessing body. You will then be issued with a locally recognised certificate that will match your qualification to the equivalent local qualification and explain it in terms that local employers will understand. It is also required in order for your residence visa application to be successful. 

Our agents are experienced in the processing of qualification and trades recognition applications with the following and other official bodies: NZQA, TRA, VETASSESS, ACS, AIM, EEE, etc. We will handle all the paperwork on your behalf and the preparation and submission of your application. We will then liaise with the relevant body to deal with any follow-up questions or practical assessment requests. It is often important that you get this stage completed in order to be able to lodge your residence visa application.

COMPILING DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE

One of the most important aspects of your case is the support documentation that accompanies your application. The immigration authorities will require supporting documentary evidence covering every aspect of your application and this is where many applicants make mistakes.

Our consultant will work with you to ensure that your work references, qualification and trades diplomas and evidence of your relationship (where applicable) are presented in the prescribed format.

Your net worth will be evidenced by way of formal property evaluations and bank/financial statements. Our consultant will handle all the necessary currency conversions and will liaise closely with a chartered accountant should it be necessary for you to provide certified financial statements.

APPLICATION SUBMISSION

Once complete, your application will be submitted to the immigration authorities, in the format recommended by the authorities. Your case consultant will monitor the processing of your application, liaise with the immigration authorities and respond to any questions raised by the authorities. At every stage in the process your case consultant will provide written advice and regular progress reports, together with on-going supervision and advancement of your case.

OUR VISA RECOMMENDATION TO GOVERNMENT

Crucially, we do something that you cannot do for yourself. With your visa application, we submit a formal written visa recommendation addressed to the assessing Government immigration officer which outlines the particular visa that should be issued to you and your family, and the reasons why. As officially recognised migration agents, our recommendations are powerful and add weight to your application. In our visa recommendation letter, we will provide evidence directly from the official Government immigration policy and authority procedure manuals as to the type of visa you are entitled to and the way in which your case should be processed. In the past, our visa recommendations have helped the assessing immigration officer by clarifying the Government immigration rules that apply to your case, enabling them to proceed with the processing your case.

APPLICATION SUCCESS

Upon the approval of your application, your case consultant will arrange the issuing of residence visas and will remain available to provide advice and guidance on your options regarding citizenship and returning residence visas (re-entry visas).

Our highly experienced team of legal and migration advisory staff are able to handle applications under all categories of the immigration regulations, including complex special-class visa applications, appeals and judicial reviews.
