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!
