Progressing Immigration Cases:Tips & Tools for Engaging with INZ and Courts

On Tuesday 23 June 2026, Sarah Jerebine KC, Jack Cheng and Pooja Sundar will lead a discussion on “Progressing Immigration Cases: Tips and Tools for Engaging with INZ and the Courts” at Bankside Chambers, Auckland. NZ Asian Lawyers has invited them to share suggestions and experiences at all levels of the immigration process from Immigration NZ to the Courts. We hope it will be useful for members with matters in this busy area, which can often involve Asian clients. There will be a short talk by each panel member on different topics, followed by a general discussion allowing for questions from participants.
