Given the 20 plus years of criminal, employment and immigration law experience our lawyer Ned Burke is uniquely placed to assist clients who either have criminal matters before the courts which will impact on their immigration status or employers who are facing investigation for breaching the Accredited Employer rules.
Too often we hear stories of migrants who, having committed criminal offences face deportation back to their homeland after building a life for themselves here and their family.
Any type of criminal conviction can result in a person becoming liable for deportation.
The accredited employer scheme has been in operation over 2 years now and we are just starting to see Immigration New Zealand come down hard on employers who have not fulfilled their obligations some of whom are facing criminal prosecutions. The consequences for employers in this sphere can be quite severe. It pays to have full legal representation.
Enough said, you better call Ned!
