The recently published annual reports from the Residence Review Board and the Residence Removal Authority make interesting reading! The Residence Review Board states that they made a total of 432 decisions with the following results;
- 49% were dismissed.
- 51% were successful in one way or the other.
- 37% of the decisions made by Immigration New Zealand were incorrect.
The above, in my humble opinion, confirms three points,;
- That applications were lodged by inexperienced agents . This could be prevented by selecting an Immigration Advisor who is a member of the NZAMI.
- Applications have been assessed by inexperienced INZ staff. This is another reason to sel;ect a member of the NZAMI as they will fight for your case when you are right.
- That Immigration Advisors and Immigration NZ need to improve their performances, take responsibility and train and upgrade themselves!
