Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Zealand (Aotearoa)
I have been in a relationship for twoyears we applied fo\or NZ residency 10 months ago. I am a 4th generation Kiwimy partner is Agantinian and has a daughter aged 11 with downs syndrome . we have had the daughter in the school system here for two years. she is medically fit but now immigration are saying she is going to cost the system with education.and have costrued this with both the medical and education acesser. I cant see how they can do this now break up our relationship and make our kid go from learning english back to having to relearn spanish after so long its inhumane for a downs syndrome child. can you help ?

It is very likely that the application will be declined because Immigration has to follow its own Policy.
There is a right to appeal against the decision after it is declined. The appeal Tribunal can look beyond the Policy to see if there are "special circumstances" that justify making an exception. This looks like a good case where this could happen.
I have over 15 years' experience in this line of work - see our website at www.laurentlaw.co.nz. Our fee to handle the appeal would be around $4000 plus the appeal fee of $550.
In the meantime, though, there is probably not much that we could do to help the case at this stage.
