Testimonials

Whenever we make a huge financial or life-changing decision, we are wracked with worry about whether the people that we trust to advise us are of the best ... or – at the very least -- have our interests at heart.
This probably goes more for an immigration advisor than pretty much anyone else one may rely on  ... almost as much as, say, a doctor whom we trust to advise us when ill --  or a lawyer whom we trust to act on our behalf in a civil or criminal lawsuit.
When we need an immigration advisor, we are usually at our most vulnerable.  Strangers in a strange land where the customs of the locals – and the government – are alien, and often incomprehensible, to us.
Usually unsure of ourselves, often needing transport, accommodation and employment, who do we turn to?  How do we know that the people with whom we deal are competent ... or even trustworthy?
By the recommendation of someone who was once in your position.
And that someone is me.

Having been very badly burned by a so-called immigration advisor on the Shore, I was in dire straits until NSIS was recommended to me by friends.  Needless to say, I was cynical about approaching another company.  Once bitten ...
Because of my unusual position, I had little hope.  Through a unique combination of circumstances I was not in a good position to be a potential Kiwi.  Over the normal age of acceptance, yet to be permanently employed and lacking in the requisite immigration points, things were looking pretty bleak for me.
However, Simona Woodberg and her team at NSIS then got to work on my case.  Long story short, it has been a long, hard uphill battle, I’ll admit, but on the 15th of December 2011, I received that phone call telling me that my dream of becoming a Kiwi is about to be realised.
I have not touched the ground, since.
 
Thank you, Simona, and all at North Shore Immigration Services.   You are lifesavers.

Dear Simona

 

May we extend our deepest gratitude to you and the expert staff at North Shore Immigration for going the extra mile while representing our case through the particularly difficult process of  obtaining New Zealand residency.

 

During our attempts at completing the process ourselves and failing to be accepted, we became aware that our case was not as straightforward as we initially thought and that without expert help we would be faced with having to leave New Zealand.

 

We are also acutely aware that without your skillful level of negotiation, persistence and determined efforts our case would have been lost.

 

Now that we consider ourselves settled residents, we would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone embarking on the difficult process of immigration.

 

May we prevail upon you to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of the dedicated staff at North Shore Immigration and trust that you will continue your excellent work far into the future.

Your clients, with gratitude,

 

Tony, Val and Candice Cunningham

Simona has helped my wife to obtain a work visa and then permanent residency. She is very careful in details and familiar with immigration requirements. She filed a solid and complete application and we successfully obtained the residency a few months earlier than expected.

I was really down and hopeless when I rang for an appointment at your office courtesy Yellow Pages.Your vibrant personality, reassuring but clear advice lifted up my spirits .Websites and chat forums don't always tell us what goes into intricate immigration details which I found luckily in your service.I was luckier even that you assisted me in getting job offer as well besides attending immigration interviews on my behalf and forcefully presenting my case.To be honest I do owe my residency, job and the peace of mind I have now in my adopted country because if you hadn't shown trust and understanding in me, maybe I wouldn't pulled myself up to that level. No words are enough for your help, moral support and technical knowledge of immigration. I will always recommend people your service which is the best technically and reasonably priced comparative to overhyped agents.
Thanks Simona for showing me light at the end of the tunnel.
