Our firm is proud to have secured a resident visa for a child client through ministerial intervention, overcoming a key barrier in a family-based application. Immigration New Zealand initially could not proceed due to the absence of evidence proving the mother’s right to remove the child from another country where custody rights were engaged.
We made detailed submissions to the Associate Minister of Immigration, requesting an exception to instructions on humanitarian grounds. The delegated decision-maker agreed, granting residence as an exception, subject to the remaining criteria being met.
This decision affirms the importance of discretion in complex family matters and reflects our firm’s expertise in navigating policy exceptions to achieve positive outcomes for our clients.
If you require assistance with ministerial requests or family residence matters, our team is here to help.
