Complex and Difficult Cases
The nature of immigration is such that there will always be special individual, family or employment situations that don’t fit well within existing immigration policy.
These cases need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. This may involve a request for the application to be approved as an “exception to policy” within the authority of the relevant INZ Branch office or may require a special submission to the Office of the Minister of Immigration as another option.
Character Waivers
It might be hard to talk about previous criminal convictions or offences. It may be very personal or something you may just wish to forget. We strongly advise you to discuss your situation with our advisor before you make an application to Immigration.
Remember, we are here to confidentially assist you, not judge you. We have seen and heard of many client’s offences. We are here to support and advise you only. Let us assure you we have seen and heard many personal circumstances, and we won’t be shocked.
You may have at some time recently or in the past, committed one or many offences. With any Immigration NZ application, we strongly believe that honesty is always your best policy. Never just hope Immigration New Zealand won’t find out. They will!
Immigration NZ has robust procedures for police checks. It has been our experience over many years that if they don’t already know about your past they soon will!
Unfortunately, honesty itself might not be enough to qualify you for a character waiver.
The good news is that our experienced Immigration Advisor is trained to handle such matters. We will provide you with honest advice on our chances of successfully obtaining a character waiver on your behalf. This is the process whereby we formally request that Immigration New Zealand grant you the visa despite the character issues.
