This is the belief that drives us;

"We are here for you."

This is what our boss said, over 35 years ago:

​

"Immigration is one of the most difficult interfaces between the individual and the State.

On one hand, are the individual and his or her family; pursuing the honorable objective of wanting to settle in New Zealand.

On the other, is an overstretched administration, trying to apply complex rules on a consistent basis, backed by the frightening power of the State.

This contest is fundamentally unfair. Even a strong applicant is disadvantaged and will often feel insecure until the final answer is given. 

My clients know they are in good hands."

​

It's still the same today.
