Congratulations to Hong (Daisy) D**g on another superb visa approval! 🎉

This application involved significant character concerns and required a carefully prepared character waiver request. Daisy ensured that the application was complete from the outset, with detailed submissions addressing the applicant’s immigration history, the circumstances surrounding the previous issue, their current compliance, genuine intentions, and supporting evidence.

This is especially important for applicants applying from overseas. Immigration New Zealand may decline an offshore application without first requesting further information or giving the applicant an opportunity to clarify concerns. A strong, transparent and well-evidenced application must therefore be presented from the beginning.

We are delighted that the General Visitor Visa has now been approved.

Well done, Daisy, for your careful preparation, sound judgment and another excellent result for the client.

Preparation matters. Evidence matters. Experience matters.

A courageous step forward — residence approved in principle 🌿

Domestic violence is never acceptable.

It is deeply sad that, after surviving violence, a person may then face further fear and uncertainty about their immigration status. Having to explain painful experiences, gather evidence, and prove why you should not be forced to leave New Zealand can feel like another layer of trauma.

Today, we acknowledge the courage of one brave person whose Victims of Domestic Violence Resident Visa application has been approved in principle.

This outcome reflects extraordinary strength, patience, and endurance. You kept going through every difficult step until you reached this day.

Kia kaha. We honour your courage and your determination to build a safer future.

“Whāia te iti kahurangi, ki te tūohu koe, me he maunga teitei.”
Pursue that which is precious, and if you must bow, let it be only to a lofty mountain.

May this decision mark the beginning of a new chapter filled with safety, dignity, healing, and hope.

Another successful visa outcome for our client!

TDA Immigration and Student Services took over this Partner of an AEWV Worker Visa application after Immigration New Zealand raised concerns.

We carefully reviewed the application, addressed each concern clearly, and provided supporting evidence and detailed explanations.

We are pleased to confirm that the application was approved yesterday.

This result highlights the importance of responding to immigration concerns carefully, honestly, and with the right evidence.

Congratulations to our client and their family. We wish them every success as they continue their journey together in New Zealand.

Congratulations to our adviser Hong D**g “Daisy” on a marvellous win! 🎉

Another fantastic result for a TDA Immigration client — a Fee Paying Student Visa approved by Immigration New Zealand.

This case had a character concern involving drink driving, so the application needed to be handled carefully, honestly, and with strong supporting submissions. A past mistake does not always mean a visa pathway is closed. What matters is how the issue is addressed, whether responsibility is accepted, and whether the full circumstances are presented clearly to Immigration New Zealand.

A big congratulations to Daisy for her hard work, care, and skill in preparing this application. This is a wonderful outcome for the client and a great reminder that every case deserves proper attention and professional guidance.

At TDA Immigration and Student Services, we believe in helping people move forward with honesty, care, and strong representation.

We also believe that when someone accepts responsibility, learns from their mistake, and shows genuine change, that growth should be recognised. This approval gives our client the opportunity to keep moving forward and make the most of the second chance they have been given.

🌿 Well done Daisy — a marvellous win for the client and for TDA Immigration.

🎉 Residence Approved – Work to Residence Pathway 🎉

Kia Ora everyone,

We are very happy to share another wonderful approval for a family who has been granted residence under the Green List Work to Residence pathway.

Their residence application was submitted on 6 May 2026 and approved on 18 June 2026.

A huge congratulations to this family on reaching this important milestone. Becoming residents of New Zealand is a life-changing achievement, and we are honoured to have supported them through this journey.

Whakataukī / Māori Proverb:
“He waka eke noa.”
Translation: We are all in this canoe together.

This proverb reminds us that every immigration journey is a shared effort, with the applicant, family, employer, and advisor all working together towards the same goal.

Congratulations again from all of us at TDA Immigration and Student Services. We wish this family every success as they continue building their future in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Resdience approved!!!!!
This lady has faced years of uncertainty, family violence, visa challenges, and the fear of being separated from the life she built in New Zealand.

Today, the Tribunal recognised the exceptional humanitarian circumstances in her case, including her role as the sole caregiver of her New Zealand citizen child with complex needs, the family violence she experienced, and the limited support available to her overseas.

The appeal was allowed, and the Tribunal ordered that she be granted a resident visa.

A powerful reminder: never give up when there are strong humanitarian grounds and a genuine reason to remain in New Zealand.

A wonderful win for TDA Immigration and Student Services this week.

Many couples come to New Zealand to work hard, contribute to our communities, and build a better future. Sometimes, while they are here, they receive the blessing of welcoming a child.

However, when circumstances change, families can face unexpected immigration challenges. A child born or living in New Zealand may not automatically qualify for a visa just because one parent is able to support a partner’s visa.

This week’s approval was a great result for one of our families, and an important reminder:

Just because your visa allows you to support your partner, it does not always mean you can support a child. The rules can be different for partners and dependent children.

If your family circumstances have changed, especially if you have had a baby while in New Zealand, it is important to get advice early so your child can remain lawful in New Zealand.

At TDA Immigration and Student Services, we are here to help families understand their options and move forward with confidence.
