The Challenge:

The student had completed her first year of undergraduate study at a New Zealand university but failed all eight enrolled courses. She was due to apply for a new student visa to continue her studies, but Immigration New Zealand requires evidence of satisfactory attendance and academic performance for visa renewals. 
Our Solution:

We conducted a deep consultation to understand the student’s background and identified several mitigating factors. With discussion with the student, we proposed a change of study plan and successfully helped the student transfer to a more suitable programme. This new direction not only aligned better with her abilities but also positioned her more favorably for future visa applications. We then crafted a detailed explanation addressing the academic failure and presented supporting evidence to demonstrate the student’s improved preparedness and commitments. 
The Outcome:

Despite the initial academic records, Immigration New Zealand accepted our rationale and approved the student visa renewal. 
Highlight:

Achieved visa approval for a student with a 100% course failure rate through tailored academic planning and persuasive justification.
