Inal’s Pathway to Family Reunification in New Zealand
Separated in Fiji while his parents and brother lived in New Zealand on AEWV visas, Inal faced multiple General Visitor Visa declines and growing uncertainty. This story shares how Provisas reviewed his past refusals, rebuilt his application, addressed INZ’s concerns, and helped him finally reunite with his family in New Zealand.
The Challenge
- Living in Fiji while his parents and brother were in New Zealand on AEWV visas
- Classified as an independent child, which made visa options more complex
- Two previous General Visitor Visa applications declined
- Emotional strain caused by prolonged separation from his family
- Uncertainty about how to address Immigration New Zealand’s concerns
- Limited understanding of the evidence required to support a strong application
The Journey
Inal’s family contacted Provisas for professional immigration guidance after previous visa applications had been declined. Our team assessed his circumstances and eligibility for a General Visitor Visa, carefully reviewing the reasons for the earlier refusals. We prepared a detailed application that directly addressed Immigration New Zealand’s concerns and responded thoroughly to two Potentially Prejudicial Information requests. Throughout the process, Provisas provided clear communication and reassurance, ensuring that all supporting evidence was aligned with immigration requirements and presented effectively.
The Outcome
- A General Visitor Visa granted for a three-month period
- Inal was able to travel to New Zealand and reunite with his parents and brother
- Greater clarity and peace of mind for the family after months of uncertainty
