Hi
Mt partner visa application declined bcoz of section 15 from NZHC new delhi. The reason for to fall section 15 is im excluded from australia for 3 years. No criminal offence to australia only quit studies while i was on student visa and they cancelled my visa & imposed 3 years exclusion.
They satisfied with my 3.5 years old relationship bcoz we have a child together. My wife and baby both are nz citizens.
Im confused now what is my next step. ?
Can I apply for special directions under section 17. If yes then where i can apply for it.
Presently my wife and baby both are living with me in india. They can't move to NZ by self. Bcoz from last five years my wife lived in australia.
Decision letter wordings.
"""You have made submissions that you and Raj have been in a relationship since 2012 and that you got married on 09 November 2013. We acknowledge the documents that have been provided in support of your relationship including evidence to show that you and Raj have a child together. However, we are still not satisfied that you can be granted a visa to New Zealand. This is because you were excluded from Australia. You fall within the purview of Section 15 of the Immigration Act 2009 and are therefore, ineligible for temporary entry class visa or entry permission. A special direction was considered for you but has not been granted.
We have considered all your circumstances to see if an exception to instruction is justified. Taking into account the objectives of temporary entry instruction and your present circumstances, we do not believe an exception to instruction is justified.
Under section 186 of the Immigration Act of 2009, there is no right of appeal or reconsideration against a decision on a temporary entry class visa application made outside of New Zealand (as per immigration instruction E7.35.1).
If you have new and compelling information which has not been considered by INZ, you may submit a further application. Such an application would be considered on its merits and would need to satisfy the assessing immigration officer that you meet all relevant New Zealand government immigration instructions including those raised with you in this application.'""""""""
