Partnership Based Work Visa Granted

I am Kyung Mi from South Korea and I became unlawful in New Zealand when my Partnership Based Temporary Entry Application that was being processed in Immigration, got declined.

After careful consideration of my surrounding circumstances Vandana Rai lodged my Section 61 Request, which was granted by the Immigration in a matter of three weeks. Vandana advocated my case on the facts that I had become unlawful due to circumstances beyond my control, and that I was living in a genuine and stable relationship with my partner which enjoyed social recognition and had financial interdependence.

As such I was given a General Visitor Visa to maintain my lawful status and also spend more time with my partner, explore New Zealand and practice English.

I strongly recommend the services of New Zealand Immigration Advisers to all those who have become unlawful in New Zealand unintentionally and want to become lawful again.

Director

Vandana is herself a migrant and has a rare set of skill match, which could be considered ideal for a Licensed Immigration Adviser. She was a school counsellor from 1996 to 2006, a role in which she was a natural fit due to her nurturing and caring personality. Her earnest journey as a fully Licensed Immigration Adviser for New Zealand began in 2014, and she considers herself blessed to have the background and the skills that allow her, as an Immigration adviser, to effortlessly visualise herself in her client’s situation, understand their needs and problems, and use her knowledge, experience, and expertise to help find a solution for it.

She is currently on the Board of New Zealand Association of Migration and Investment (NZAMI) and was part of the Immigration Advisers Authority(IAA) referral group for 2016.
