Hello all,
I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience/knowledge about getting an immigration lawyer?
I'm currently on an interim VISA without working conditions and I've been told my application (partnership work VISA) might take up to 6-8 months to even start being processed! Obviously this is not very ideal for me as I've already had to terminate my work contract.
My employer wants to get me working for them again ASAP and they have an office in London, so another solution for me would be to go work there instead. But before I do that I want to be 100% sure there is no other way for me to get back to work here in New Zealand quickly.
Also, I want to know how much people generally pay for an immigration lawyer, is it possible to get a free consultation or a call, if so, where would be a good place to start?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
[EDIT]
I forgot to mention that I've already gotten legal advice and had heaps of calls with immigration support and from what they've told me, it's not possible to get a fastlane or anything, regardless of my situation.
