The Immigration Process
The immigration process to New Zealand can be a complicated process. Although the Immigration New Zealand website is very informative and provides links to many areas that can explain many things, the research process for any one type of application is often very tedious and time consuming. A prospective applicant can easily loose track of his/her intent when frequently cross-referenced to another webpage or link. There are many instances when phrases or words can be mis-understood, and may lead to confusion. If a prospective immigrant is not careful, important things can be missed, and it might seem there should have been something else written between the lines. On top of this, immigration policies, instructions, regulations, and procedure are often amended, renewed, changed, or revised. The rate for failure of "Do-It-Yourself" applications is high ... and you need not go through that frustration and disappointment. Help from an Immigration Adviser can make life easier for you!
