In a social media post the family says after more than half a decade and even more case managers they've been lost in the labyrinth of immigration and their application for residency has been declined. More than 33,000 people have signed a petition supporting their bid to stay in aotearoa & National MP Chris Bishop has written to Minister Michael Wood to intervene. Owner and Principal Consultant of immigration company "Into NZ" Katy Armstrong talks to Lisa Owen.
