PPI Letter Response

Potentially Prejudicial Information (PPI) explains the concerns or information that could affect your application and gives the applicant a deadline to respond. PPI is sent because Immigration New Zealand has already identified some potential issues with your visa application. Unless you reply to the PPI letter in a clear, complete and compelling way, your visa application is likely to be denied. The response to the PPI letter must quote relevant New Zealand immigration law sections and provide ample proof to satisfy your immigration officer. Consequences of not responding to the PPI letter correctly in time go beyond visa rejection — in some cases, you may even be liable for deportation the moment your visa application is rejected.

Case Study

A client had successfully been selected in the parent category resident visa but INZ issued a PPI letter based on the fact INZ had concerns that the couple met the relationship requirements. We took on the case and requested all living together documents from the couple over the past 10 years. The couple were Chinese and did not have many documents which show their names and residential address. In our response we outlined how the new evidence proves the couple meet relationship requirements while explaining differences between NZ and Chinese documents. The case was approved and resident visas issued.
