COMMON QUESTIONS / 04
Three things to know first.
General information only. Immigration advice must take your individual circumstances into account.
01When should I speak with an immigration adviser?
Ideally, before making commitments based on a visa outcome—such as accepting a role, enrolling, relocating, or allowing a current visa to approach expiry. Early advice can help identify evidence gaps and timing risks.
02Can you tell me whether I am eligible before I engage you?
An initial consultation is intended to understand your circumstances and identify whether there is a viable pathway worth exploring. A reliable assessment depends on your facts and the immigration instructions in force at the time.
03Do you guarantee visa approval?
No. No adviser can guarantee an immigration outcome. Decisions are made by Immigration New Zealand. Our role is to provide clear advice, prepare a careful application, and help you respond appropriately throughout the process.
