September, a month with many things happening, in New Zealand and in my office;

• The Rugby World Cup started on Friday 9 September 2011. It appears to be an excellent tournament and based on what we can read in the news papers, people are enjoying the games AND New Zealand. If you want to keep up-to-date with the RWC, just follow this this link and enjoy.
• This month also marked the approval of my fourth immigration licence authorising me to provide New Zealand immigration advise. This is a yearly re-occurence where the Immigration Advisers Authority checks the work that an immigration does, is up-to scratch and acceptable. It is based on the submission of a client file by the adviser and the scutinising of that client file by the IAA, inclusive of all documents, correpondence between client, adviser and INZ, invoicing and advice provided to the client. This all has to meet the IAA Code of Conduct.
• Also this month we sadly said "Goodbye and thank you Very much" to Jailing HU, my trusted and diligent Chinese enterpreter, who is now on maternity leave as she is expecting her first baby. I have been fortunate to find Hai Qing YANG who will replace her as my Chinese interpreter. "Welcome" to our office and our clients, Hai Qing. So when you come in again and see a new face, it's is Hai Qing, and please feel free to introduce yourself to Hai Qing.

See you all next month again.
