So I'm 18 and want to go on holiday to NZ next year, however over summer I was denied entry to the USA as I was ineligible to enter under the visa waiver program. I'm not eligible to enter NZ under s15 of the immigration act 2009: No visa or entry permission may be granted, and no visa waiver may apply, to any person who has, at any time, been removed, excluded, or deported from another country.
I'm pretty sure this means I need a special direction, although I'm not sure. I'm not excluded from the USA, I just need a visa to go there. I wasn't deported or removed, as I was at a land border, so I just drove back into Canada.
I really want to talk to somebody about it, and get a recommendation on what I should do.
Every page I can find online simple tells me to contact NZ immigration, and links to immigration.gov.nz, or tells me to apply online for a special direction and links there. For some reason, the link won't work and I can't access the website. Does anybody have any email addresses or numbers of who I should contact about this? And as the NZ immigration website doesn't work, how would I apply for a special direction if I do need one?
Thanks
