I am so grateful for Raphie and her team! It was the best decision to hire Raphie to process my tourist visa. Extremely kind, professional, and very prompt in answering all my queries. Again, I am beyond thankful for this smooth process! God bless you Raphie and team!

We first sought Raphie's advice when we got our visas but weren't sure if it would be a good idea to have them replaced with a longer validity date. Great thing we heeded Raphie's advice to simply appeal to Immigration New Zealand, otherwise we would have to pay for renewals every year. We saved a lot of money on visa renewals. If your odds are low or you're not sure of the processes, it's well worth it to seek professional advice. It will save you a lot of money in the end.

The second time, Raphie submitted our documents to INZ for our resident visa application. Resident visa application is always nerve racking so having a professional deal with it on our behalf took a lot of weight off our shoulders. There was a hiccup with our application then, but Raphie dealt with it swiftly. When we received the update, it was already taken care of.

Raphie puts a lot of thought and care in her clients and their cases. She would consider the possible scenarios and guide you to the path with the highest chance of success. She sends updates during every step of the process. Raphie is very honest, efficient and transparent. Raphie is the bomb.

Raphie was very professional and always shared information. She did not appear like she was hiding something and was very transparent in her dealings with us. She also customized her services for us, taking into account our requirements like traveling together and by a certain date. She gave us options always, and never appeared to upsell her services if she didn't think we needed it. [Raphie is] very professional and objective. She always provided information to address our questions.

[The advice we received was] a lot, and all of it was geared toward increasing our chances of getting approved, like details on additional evidence to submit. It helped us focus our search for evidence better.

[Looking back, difficulties we might have faced if we did not receive advice from our LIA] The application might have been delayed due to insufficient evidence, and we might have gone crazy not knowing what to expect after submitting our application. She assured us that the wait was still within the normal time frame of application evaluation.

Excellent job Koru, we don't regret having gone with you from all the other options we considered. Thank you for helping us move to the next chapter of our lives.

Oh definitely engage her services - it's worth every cent!

I lacked knowledge on such [immigration] matters. She [Raphie] makes the process easy to grasp. The advice sped up the process.

We didn't know what to do.

We received advice [from Raphie] on changing [my] guardianship visa and extending [my child’s] student visa. If we did not receive the advice from our LIA, we would've taken a huge risk and paid more expenses on our visas.

What I appreciate most about Koru is that Raphie gets the job done. [She is] straightforward and efficient. Raphie is great, young, efficient Immigration Advisor if you're applying for an NZ Visa.
