How long have you been in business & what was your inspiration to start?
Auckland South Immigration Consultants Limited started on 2 December 2010 and I am always passionate about assisting the potential migrants to New Zealand. I moved to New Zealand in year 2000 and experienced severe difficulty in obtaining residency for my family. During that time I had seen other people struggle to get appropriate visas most times with some questionable advisers. This inspired me to learn, practice and assist people with immigration needs.
I started because the licensing of immigration consultants stopped poor performance from bad advisers, allowing only reliable help to be given to innocent migrants cost-effectively.
What is your main service and can you provide a list of key features and benefits?
I specialise in immigration advice on following categories of New Zealand visa applications:
Visitor visa, Student visa, Work visa (essential skills, partnership, post-study),
Residence, (family, partnership, parent), Variation of Conditions, Appeals, Section 61 applications, Special Cases and Business Visas.
Benefit: Faster immigration at least possible cost, correct decisions from applications.
Furthermore, I provide assistance with Medical and Police Clearance Certificates, Document Certifications, Immigration Assessments, International Qualification Assessments from the NZQA, and assistance with CV’s and Employment Agreements.
