Consultants for New Zealand Immigration, we offer a range of services to meet the varied needs of those emigrating to New Zealand and have been serving the requirements of NZ migrants since 1999. We specialise in ensuring that all New Zealand immigrants are treated fairly under New Zealand immigration policies & law, and our immigration consultants can help you resolve any issues that might face you in your desire to stay legally within New Zealand.
Jay Shadforth's incentive to establish her own firm came from the desire to provide a professional yet personal service to her clients in appreciation of the importance of their decision not only to immigrate, but to entrust that decision to our care.
Whilst Jay handles all forms of immigration applications, she specialises in s35a applications and immigration appeals.

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 the first instance, in an effort to give clients confidence and assurance, resulting in success!
Whether you are applying for temporary entry, residence, or need the more specialist skills in regard to appeals to the Residence Appeal Authority, Removal Review Authority, Refugee Status Appeals Authority or even directly to the Minister of Immigration, you need to be sure that the very first information advice you receive is accurate, up-to-date and reliable.
