Migrating or moving to New Zealand? Make sure you get the right immigration advice

We are aware of instances where people are missing out on being able to live permanently or temporarily in New Zealand because they are failing to get the right immigration advice. This also creates unnecessary delay and extra expense.

For example, there are people who have missed out on getting a residence visa as skilled migrants because when they are offered a job in New Zealand they have not understood how it must relate to their qualifications and experience. Business people have also missed out on residence visas because when they first set up their New Zealand business they failed to keep appropriate documentation recording their investment.

These situations could have been avoided if these people had the right advice at the outset.

In order to give high quality immigration advice, a sound understanding of immigration law is required. All New Zealand immigration advisers must now be licensed, but a licence does not mean that an adviser has legal qualifications or training. Lawyers are exempt from the licensing requirement due to the stringent professional regulations they are required to follow. There is a lot at stake with an immigration application, and bad advice can ruin your chances. With Rainey Collins, you can be totally confident that you have skilled lawyers representing you. Also, because we practice immigration as a speciality area, we take the time to keep fully up-to-date with rule changes.

If your application for residence has been declined, we are also well placed to assist with a residence appeal to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal. Rainey Collins also offers you help with employment, business and property advice…a complete service.

We know that choosing a person with a sound understanding of the immigration process and who you can get on well with is very important to you. So we offer you an initial relaxed chat on the telephone at no cost. This lets you decide if you want to come in and see us for a first meeting for a small fixed investment. We may even be able to commence a suitable visa application for you right away.

To find out where you stand, and satisfy yourself that we have the right experience and approach for you, call us on your Freecall Migration Helpline now…0800 733 401 or email immigration@raineycollins.co.nz.
