Immigration Law Advocates

move2nz introduction: Professional Help

move2nz aims to empower our members to take control of their own migration through our free services. We are the foremost experts on New Zealand migration, settlement and integration, but we cannot provide professional Immigration assistance.

We are delighted to be able to welcome Immigration Law Advocates to bridge this gap. If you need a professional you can rely on move2nz's trusted partners!


Immigration Law Advocates

Whether you are applying for temporary entry or permanent residence, you need to be sure that the very first information and advice you receive is accurate, up-to-date and reliable.

It is a sad fact but true, that the international reputation of the immigration industry is one which has been tarnished by fraud and poor representation. Naturally, this reflects poorly on those dedicated professionals who genuinely know what they are doing and have a passion for their work.

It is therefore our aim to provide clients with as much accurate information as possible, in an effort to give clients confidence and assurance, resulting in success! Whether this free information provided upfront subsequently results in the engagement of our services, is determined by the individual, but at least we know we have pointed them in the right direction.

What we offer:

  • Professional service
  • Migrant Protection
  • FREE Immigration Assessments
  • FREE Webinars (online seminars) regarding immigration policy and updates

Professional Service

Whilst many migrants engage our services for the security of having a professional service that allows them freedom to concentrate on the numerous other issues related to starting a new life in a new country, others do so because their circumstances are outside normal policy and they require specialist assistance including representation to the Residence Review Board, Removal Review Board or the Associate Minister of Immigration.

In addition, now that immigration policy (particularly the Skilled Migrant Category) has become more prescriptive in nature, more and more applicants find themselves ineligible because of an overly rigid interpretation and application of policy by the immigration authorities

Migrant Protection

ILA has been a full member of the New Zealand Association for Migration and Investment (NZAMI) since ILA’s establishment in 1999. To date this has been the only registration body governing the immigration industry in New Zealand. Clients of NZAMI registered members are protected by the Associations Code of Ethics.

As at 4 May 2009 however, regulation of the immigration industry will also become the responsibility of the New Zealand government in order to ensure that migrant’s interests are protected. Jay Shadforth is currently in the process of gaining her Immigration Adviser Licence.

Free Assessments

In light of the fact that immigration policy is frequently subject to change; can be convoluted and lack transparency; and places the burden of proof of eligibility upon the applicant. It is critical that potential migrants receive detailed, accurate information as soon as possible. Consequently we offer free assessments of eligibility to live and work in New Zealand. Assessments are provided in writing and in most cases are accompanied by a quote for our services.
