Make the right impression, first time.

The likelihood of the success of your application is much greater with the presentation of a 100% complete and correct application. By choosing the right kind of professional help, you can greatly improve your likelihood of being granted a residence visa.

YOUR OWN CASE CONSULTANT

We like to keep things simple, so for continuity and ease of transaction, our policy is one case consultant per client.

Your professionally trained visa consultant will:

• be responsible for processing your entire residence visa application
  
  
• obtain the qualified support of our legal advisors who will research the relevant immigration regulations and official procedure manuals to determine the appropriate course of action for your application.
  
  
• Identify potential problems or complications will be clarified and, where possible, promptly resolved.
  
  
• supervise the preparation of a fully documented visa application in accordance with the current immigration regulations.
  
  
• promptly co-ordinate and prepare documents supporting your application (including translations, legal checks and careful coordination of time sensitive documents such as medical tests, language tests and police reports).
  

It is a critical part of the immigration process to make sure your qualifications will be officially recognised. You may need to get a locally recognised certificate to match your qualification to the local qualification and explain it in a way that your employers will understand. 

Our agents are experienced with the processing of qualification and trades recognition applications with the following and other official bodies: NZQA, TRA, VETASSES, ACS, AIM, EEE.  We will handle the paperwork, follow- up question or pratical assessment requests with the relevant body.

COMPILING DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE

One of the most important aspects of your case is the supporting documentation that accompanies your application, and this is where applicants without the support of a migration agent like the Migration Bureau make mistakes.

Your Migration Bureau consultant will work with you to ensure everything is presented in the right way, including:

• work references
  
• qualifications and trade diplomas (including submission of application for official recognition of qualification, e.g. NZQA, VetAssess, TRA, and RPL (Recognised Prior Learning) assessments.
  
• evidence of your relationship (where applicable)
  
• your net worth (including currency conversions and liaison with chartered accountants if necessary)
  
  

Once complete, your application will be submitted to the immigration authorities in the format recommended and understood 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.

Crucially, we do something that you cannot 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 of your case.
