⸻ When Anthony Callagan at Pathways took my case, I had no immigration status in New Zealand and had already been refused by other top immigration lawyers. I felt stressed, hopeless, and unsure about my future. From our very first conversation, Anthony gave me hope. He was genuine, compassionate, and extremely professional. He didn’t just see me as another case — he truly cared. With a clear and strategic approach, he first secured my legal status, then my work permit, and eventually my permanent residency. Today, I am proud to say I am a New Zealand citizen living in Australia — something that once felt impossible. This is a long-awaited review, and I will always be grateful for what Anthony has done for me and my family. If you are feeling stuck or hopeless with your immigration situation, Anthony is someone you can truly trust. Since then he has helped my Friends and lately my Sister with Her student and work Visa. My suggestion is go to Anthony Callagan at Pathways early and live stress free. Thank You Anthony And Team Pathways to NZ

Sally Forbes at Pathways to NZ Immigration (Hamilton) provided exceptional service, guidance, and support throughout my entire journey, from obtaining a New Zealand visitor visa to my resident visa. I highly recommend her to anyone, especially those facing complex visa situations. Sally is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. She’s always quick to respond, gives clear explanations, and makes the whole process so much smoother. I couldn’t have achieved this without her dedicated effort. I’m so grateful, thank you, Sally and Pathways!

We are writing to express our heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding support and guidance Mr John Henderson has provided us throughout our New Zealand Parent Residence Visa immigration application process with Pathways to New Zealand Immigration (Wellington). John's professionalism, efficiency, compassionate and great dedicated approach made a significant difference in what could have been an overwhelming experience. From the very beginning, it was clear that he genuinely cared about our journey and was committed to helping us achieve our dreams. His willingness to go the extra mile did not go unnoticed and was immensely appreciated. Not only did he navigate the complexities of the application process with expert knowledge, but he also offered invaluable emotional support that made the experience much more manageable. His encouragement, understanding and compassion helped us stay positive, and his assurance that everything would work out made a world of difference. We are truly grateful for his excellent efforts and the dedication he showed to our application. Thanks to John, my dream of moving to New Zealand to be with my son and family is now a reality, and we cannot thank him enough for his role in making it happen. Once again, thank you, John and Pathways to New Zealand Immigration (Wellington) for everything, we would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone seeking immigration advice, as we believe they would benefit just as we have.

I would like to sincerely thank Clintivene Sechel for the outstanding support and professionalism throughout my residency application process. My case was not easy,I honestly thought my chances were very low. However, Clintivene handled my case with confidence, patience, and deep knowledge of the immigration process. From start to finish, I felt supported, informed, and reassured. Thanks to Clintivene’s dedication and expertise, I was able to obtain my New Zealand residency—something that has truly changed my life and opened new opportunities for me and my family. I highly recommend Clintivene Sechel to anyone looking for a reliable and committed immigration adviser. Their work genuinely makes a difference. Thank you once again for everything.

We've been working with Mayank for the past two years for my partner to get his visas, we've applied for three different visas within this time and all were approved without any problems. We really wouldn't have been able to do this without Mayank's help –he made the daunting process of visa application so much easier and he was so thorough to ensure we had everything we needed to be a successful application to Immigration NZ. Highly recommend!!

I cannot overstate my gratitude for the outstanding legal representation provided by John Henderson and their team at Pathways to New Zealand. From the outset, they demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately instilled confidence. Navigating the WTR visa process is incredibly complex and stressful. John not only mastered the legal intricacies but also provided a clear, strategic roadmap for our case. What truly sets them apart is how they went "above and beyond" at every turn. Thanks to their diligent efforts, our application was approved despite initial complexities . I wholeheartedly recommend John Henderson to anyone seeking an immigration lawyer who combines top-tier legal acumen with genuine compassion and dedication. They are worth every penny and more.

I had a complex PR case, as I was not the main applicant who first received residency. Charlotte Summers from Pathways NZ took on my case and managed it with exceptional professionalism and expertise. She provided clear guidance throughout the entire process and addressed all my questions promptly. Thanks to her diligent support, my PR was approved within just two weeks. I am extremely satisfied with her services and highly recommend Charlotte and the Pathways team to anyone seeking reliable and efficient immigration assistance.

5 Stars – Highly Recommend Anthony Callaghan! Working with Anthony Callaghan as my immigration advisor has been an absolute blessing. His communication was always clear and straightforward. I initially thought there would be complications, especially coming from a Migrant Exploitation Visa, but Anthony made sure the process went smoothly. His guidance was spot-on, and thanks to his expertise, I was able to transition successfully to an Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV). I’m truly grateful for his support — I couldn’t have done it without him. I highly recommend Anthony Callaghan to anyone needing reliable and trustworthy immigration advice!
