FREE OVERSTAYERS IN NZ

I HAVE BEEN IN NZ FOR 6 YEARS NOW. MY SON AND I CAME ON VISITORS VISAS FOR HOLIDAY WITH THE INTENTION TO RETURN BACK IN OUR HOME COUNTRY. HOWEVER THINGS CHANGED WHEN WE GOT HERE. I FOUND VERY COMFORTABLE STAYING HERE ON MANY REASONS, 1. ADVANCE EDUCATION FOR MY SON. 2. FAST DEVELOPMENT OF EARNINGS, 3. WEATHER IS NOT TOO HOT AND NOT TOO COLD BUT JUST RIGHT. 4. EASY ACCESS TO SHOPS, 5. HEAPS OF OPPORTUNITIES IN TERMS OF JOB AVAILABILITIES, 6. ADVANCE TECHNOLOGIES AND ETC... I, THEN EXTEND OUR VISAS EXPIRY DATE IN ORDER TO LOOK FOR A JOB AND APPLY FOR WORK PERMIT, UNFORTUNATELY MY APPLICATION DECLINED SAYING THERES MANY NZ CITIZENS WHO CAN DO THE JOB INSTEAD OF ME.

I TRIED ALL OPTIONS BUT HOWEVER THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE SAYING I CANNOT BE LEGIBLE. I NOW GOT NO VALID PERMITS AS WELL AS MY SON. MY SON IS 6 YEARS OLD NEVER BEEN TO SCHOOL. WE NEVER COMMIT ANY CRIMES IN NZ, NEVER GOT INTO TROUBLE WITH POLICE MATTERS. WE ARE NOW HIDING LIKE PRISONERS AND WE ARE MOVING FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER TRYING TO FIND HELP. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO GOT DEPORTED BACK TO THE ISLAND, SHE GOT LOCKED UP IN THE CELL FOR MONTHS AND LEFT HER 10 YEAR OLD SON WITH HER 82 YEAR OLD FATHER CITIZEN. HER AND HER SON GOT NO VALID PERMITS AS WELL. THEY HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 11 YEARS AND THE SON NEVER BEEN TO SCHOOL BEFORE. THEY BEEN APPLIED MANY TIMES BUT STILL DECLINED WITH NO PROPER EXPLANATION. ALL OF THEIR FAMILIES ARE ALL OVER HERE IN NZ, NONE LEFT BACK IN THE ISLAND.

LAST WEEK THE IMMIGRATION WROTE A LETTER TO THE FATHER OF MY FRIEND SAYING HE HAS TO APPLY THE GRANDSONS PAPERS USING THE LAW SECTION 61, AND IF THE APPLICATION DECLINE THEY WILL DEPORT THE GRANDSON, I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE GRANDFATHER AND I WAS TOLD THAT HES REALLY SCARED THAT IF WHATEVER HAPPEN TO HIS GRANDSON SOMETHING BAD GONNA HAPPEN TO HIM. NOW THE GRANDFATHER IS IN A VERY BAD SITUATION OF TOO MUCH WORRIED AND STRESS. I HOPE HE CAN BE ABLE TO COPE WHATEVER FINAL DECISION ABOUT HIS GRANDSON.
