Hi guys,
I just heard back from my CO with some extra information that he requires. The last pointer on his email states that he believes I lied on me eoi because I said no for 'have you ever been refused a visa to NZ?'. My parents had filed for a Residency multiple times way over a decade ago when I was only 6 and 8 years old and a dependant. I had no clue what the status of that application was since I was just a child. I marked it as no since I have never been rejected a visa where I was an applicant. My CO is requesting an explanation and has said that he has grounds to decline my Residency.
Has anybody ever experienced this? What should I reply? Will they understand?
