About this service

What it is

A second read of a file before it is lodged, or after a decline, catches what familiarity hides. This review works through the application, the evidence and the relevant immigration instructions, and reports what the file currently establishes, what it does not, and what evidence would close the distance.

What the document contains

  • Full review of the application and supporting evidence
  • Analysis against the current immigration instructions
  • Written findings on what the evidence establishes and what it does not
  • Schedule of evidence gaps and what would close them
  • Where the file has been declined, analysis of the decision reasoning

What the instructions require

  • Based on the documents and instructions provided
  • Findings drawn from the file as it stands at the date of review

Summarised from Immigration New Zealand instructions current at publication. Instructions change — confirm the current position before relying on any figure.

How it works

From enquiry to delivered document

The same four steps on every file, whether it is a $155 translation or a $2,900 investor submission.

  1. 1

    Send us the file

    Complete the intake form on this page, or e-mail what you have. Upload the documents you already hold — we will tell you what is missing rather than guess.

  2. 2

    We confirm scope and a fixed fee

    Within one business day you get the scope, a fixed fee and a delivery date in writing. Nothing starts until you accept. The fee does not move afterwards.

  3. 3

    We write the document

    Drafted from your evidence, to the standard the assessor works to, with every figure sourced and nothing asserted that the evidence does not support.

  4. 4

    One revision included

    Tell us what needs to change and we revise once at no charge. Most files never need it, and it is there so you are never stuck with a document that does not fit.

Questions

What clients ask about this service

What do I get?

Written findings on what the file currently establishes, what it doesn't, and what evidence would close the distance.

Will you tell me if I'll succeed?

No — that's immigration advice and we're not licensed. We report on the evidence; your adviser decides strategy.

How much material can you review?

Tell us roughly how many pages and we'll confirm the fee.
