This company acted for myself, my partner and 4 of my children and we all progressed from Permanent Residents to NZ Citizen's - passport holders. They really are very professional, easy to work with and meticulously caring handling the process. Could not recommend them enough. They are a “properly qualified licensed law firm specialising in immigration. They are not just immigration advisors.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE - Paulo & Elena are very personable & professional. They are a pleasure to deal with & they got us a successful result! My partner is Russian & I am a kiwi in a same sex relationship. We had previously applied in Australia & had the visa refused, so this was our last shot at being able to be together & The Immigration Law Firm helped us. I'd highly recommend them - thank you Paulo & Elena
