Hi all,
I am an international student in Auckland and have been studying here since 2009. My visa labels the expiry date of 31st March 2016 and I lodged the application a day late on the 1st of April. The reason for that was I had to wait for a tuition fees expenses letter from my tertiary provider so I could send it to my family to pay but due to the long Easter weekend I received the letter on the 30th March. My father paid the tuition fees on the same day but I still had to wait for the receipt from my tertiary which I received on 1st April because the oversea payment was taking time. As soon as I got evrything I lodged a student visa application on 1st April. I am afraid that the visa will be refused because I made it after the expired date( staying unlawful in NZ). Has anyone ever been in any situation like mine. Please give me advice, what should I do now to help my visa approved.
Thanks
