  • “I recently worked with Dan Prain on my mother’s visa application, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. As I was pregnant at the time, I felt completely overwhelmed by the thought of navigating the visa process myself. From the very beginning, Dan was supportive, professional, and reassuring. He immediately put my mind at ease, taking full responsibility for the application and guiding us through every step with care. Dan managed the entire process seamlessly, from start to finish. He was responsive, kind, and understanding, always making sure I felt informed and confident. Thanks to his expertise, my mother’s visa was approved smoothly and without any issues, allowing her to stay with me for the delivery and to help care for the baby after birth. Having been through numerous visa applications over the past eight years, from study, to work, to residency. I know firsthand how stressful and challenging these processes can be. This was, without a doubt, the smoothest and most stress-free immigration experience I have ever had in New Zealand. Dan’s professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference, and I am deeply grateful for his support. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an immigration advisor they can truly trust.”
