How we can help with your immigration questions
Correct
Strategy
You situation is unique. Choosing the right immigration strategy for your particular circumstance is crucial. Selecting the correct visa application, following the right sequence of steps and absolute attention to detail are key to getting your visa application approved.
Avoid disappointment. You may only get one shot at it.
Correct
Lodgement
Simply filling out and lodging immigration forms without due diligence and fully understanding the consequences of each choice is a recipe for disaster. One wrong tick or omission can lead to your visa application being declined. Don’t jeopardise any future visa chances. Get qualified legal help from the outset.
Correct
Submissions
Each case is different. We ensure the correct information is stated on the vast number of application forms, evidence is supplied, and a detailed submission with supporting documentation is presented. We know what we’re doing. We’ll produce a submission to persuade the Immigration New Zealand decision makers in your favour.
Don’t just take our word for it. Read what our clients say about the work we do to help them…
“Dear friends, if you seek a reputable, qualified immigration and refugee attorney, go no further. IDESI LEGAL is a complete package; they are among the very best in New Zealand. when you approach them, they will remove the load off your shoulders and make a difficult situation more straightforward for you. I secured my work visa through this excellent legal team.
Thank you Kamil, you and your team made it possible.”

We take on cases others won’t because we care.
We’ve helped in so many ways, from 30, 25, and 15-year overstayers to refugee cases twice denied but successful second time on appeal, from a 90-year mother successfully gaining residence through an IPT appeal, to a woman who lost her husband and has no immigration pathway being issued a ministerial residence.
These cases are only the tip of the iceberg. Idesi has seen it all. Initially, there may appear to be no hope, but through a thorough analysis of the background and facts, a compelling case results through mastery in submission writing. The approach has a heart with the necessary checks and balances in place.
Many lives have been saved, where previous struggles were unbearable to hear when recounted. A simple mistake of another became a nightmare for that client forever until a resolution became possible. Imagine that day.
Given how wrong it all can go, Idesi Legal likes to manage the case from the outset, and if it were to go wrong for character or health reasons, they know the clients are in safe hands to manoeuvre them out of the stormy seas.
The skill and expertise required to develop appropriate strategies to manoeuvre correctly cannot be underestimated.
An area often misunderstood is the Deportation of Residence Visa holders, which comes about because of a traffic offence, breach of protection order, assault conviction etc, after a certain period of gaining residence. If caught early enough, these liability notices can be cancelled or suspended.
If you are issued a Potentially Prejudicial information letter from Immigration New Zealand for your work visa or residence visa, Idesi has the experience of turning a negative outcome into a positive one. Similarly, when your visa is declined, Idesi Legal has a record of successfully asking Immigration New Zealand to change their decision through the Reconsideration or Complaints process.

In the Media
Lena Matagitau who overstayed for more than 30 years has been granted NZ residency with the help from the IDESI LEGAL team.
Idesi Legal has represented clients at the Immigration and Protection Tribunal.
Whether it be for a Deportation Matter or a matter of refugee status, when other firms say it’s too late, Idesi Legal sees an opportunity.
The services are far-ranging and it is difficult to cover it all. But one can be assured that Idesi Legal has a reputation as the one to go to, and if in trouble, then they will be able to provide a helping hand.
Idesi Legal also does pro-bono cases, a lady from an East European country was found in the Auckland streets homeless. An NGO approached Idesi Legal to legalise her so that she could get back on her feet and be taken off the streets permanently; a safe house was found temporarily. The good news is that she is now lawful and is leading a normal life.
So many stories to tell, some very tragic. Idesi Legal has helped turn things around for many people in similar situations.
