Man living at airport after being denied entry into NZ

Hello, the update is that I am homeless in the USA where the unemployment rate has hit 15 million and looking to go up by the middle of 2011 and an increase in people being homeless. I am in school about finished with a certification course in Computer Graphics/Web Design/Desktop Publishing. I had to pretty much sign the next 6 years of my life to a loan so i can maybe get into better job. I am also looking at getting my Associates Degree in the above which is another 72 weeks. I could be back home with family but no one in NZ govt really cares about who they toss out after INZ packs them full of lies. How is putting a skilled worker out of a home and pretty mush feed them to the lions because of errors beyond the persons control(server crash, but hey I got told I was at fault for the error in the UK just 6 months ago when the system added too many 0's to the market report). I am still trying my guts out to come home to family and friends and to a country I would gladly stand and fight for. For those of you who no me...LOVE YA HEAPS and doing my very best to come back home! I will not stop until some clown sees some light and the errors that have made. They too know who they are. I don't care what INZ says about me. I am proud to be KIWI as I am proud to be Greek and US. But my heart is back in New Zealand as well as everything I own and love! I will be home soon enough and then I will be asking all of them very serious questions relating to their UN obligations to Human Rights ref: Article 14 I believe it is on the doctrine. Don't vote these clowns in that are selling New Zealand out to drug lords and Asians that will do nothing but take your money and run.

This is very interesting story. What is his current condition?

Oh Look what we have here. A islander who think's she knows it all. Most of her relations are on the benefit and a burden to the tax payer. How many of your relations are in State homes while the Maori are on the streets and living in the bushes? You blame me for the damage that happened in Samoa. You are one sick person. Where did you go to school or are you one of those islanders who didnt go? That explains it all. If you applied to NZI now, you wouldnt be let in with your views. You only allowed to live her because you were born here. Are your parents living in a State house? Most of the Overstayers here are Islanders. Time to pack up, go home and help your own people who are need. What did the Government(Samoa) do with the 52 million dollars the NZ tax payer gave them? No-one knows. The money wasnt given to the people of Samoa, thats for sure. What happened to the MP Phillips Field. Oh that's right in jail for bringing in Illegal immigrants under false Immigrantion papers.

Here is the letter I got after waiting nearly 2 months in Samoa, from the Immigration New Zealand office there. The information they speak of is 13yrs old police record, no felonies. Dear Mr Dermatidis, APPLICATION FOR A VISITORS VISA We are writing in regards to your application for a visitors visa which was accepted for consideration on 13 August, 2009. Our decision on your application We have declined your application for a visitor's visa because you do not meet the policy requirements. We previously advised you that after completing our first assessment of your application, we had informations that may be prejudicial to the approval of your application. We gave you these informations and the opportunity to comment before a decision was made. Although we received further information from you, we can find no reason to issue a visa as an exception to the policy. As a result, we regret to advice that your application for a visa has been declined. Accordingly, we feel that there is a risk that you may seek to stay in New Zealand for reasons other than those stated in your application. We can find no reason to issue a visa as an exception to the policy. We understand this decision will be a disappointment to you but remind you that you are not prevented from making further applications in the future. Should you do so, please be advised that a new visa officer will be assigned to your application. While any further application will certainly be considered on its merits, without prejudice to the outcome of any further application, our experience has shown that unless your circumstances have changed in any subsequent application, you are unlikely to receive a different decision. You should note that Section 10 of the New Zealand Immigration Act 1987 states that the granting of a visa is a matter of discretion, and you do not have a right to appeal against the decision to decline a visa application. Yours sincerely Wynnona Penn Visa Officer

@ Vince, No worries mate, as the News won't put everything in their report that was given. I can understand. As I was a bit upset from the news and did go a little over the top, please accept my apology for the outburst. I can't accept the behavior of INZ and being lied to then to top it it off saying I am unwanted. I don't want to be on the benefit or want anything from the taxpayers. The only thing I want from the government is my right to live in New Zealand as I have skills that can be an asset to New Zealand. I am not asking for anything that any normal human wants, to be back in the safety and security of the home I have lived in for 6 years and to be a resident of the country, family and friends that I love more than anything on earth. Oh Christ, a grown man crying, excuse me. Isn't that what the UN's Human Rights are all about? Thank you Vince.

Just look at what you were trying to drag in to the country a man with a laptop and without a visa or a return ticket you are a laugh Janeen..

Janeen I have been a New Zealand citizen since birth and my family were from the cooks, you just look at my country today a mess with more crimes and death rates and wonder if you had anything to do with it and have you something to hide..
Sorry matey you are barking up the wrong tree here..

Vince & Mike. It take's a bigger & better man to come back and apologise on here. You both have my respect. As for the other idiots who cant and dont know what they are talking about, have their heads buried in the sand. Now someone (Jessie) who knows what it is like to deal with NZI. I know a couple of other English families who've had the same problems too and they are good immigrants. They went through the same hassles, going in and out of NZI trying to get their applications sorted and you know how slow NZI are to get things done. They dont care what the families are going through when you dont hear from them for months. NZI plays with people's lives, the stress on the family and friends. The caring of NZI... Its not our problem! The people of NZ really dont know what NZI put Immigrants through and NZI are quick to cover their own backs saying they are doing their job. Yeah! Right! Their job is slow like most Government Departments. I got a reply email from a Government department which was from a email letter I wrote to them on the 9th October 2009. Finally got their reply last week. I replied to them back, what use is this email to me now, as it was 2 months ago.

well I for one know how hard it was for my parents to emigrate to New Zealand from England. We all speak English, Dad had a good job waiting for him here with TV3 in New Zealand and we even had family willing to sponsor us, and the New Zealand Department of Immigration dragged their heels and at one point (when we have booked the ticket and sold our house) said that we where not welcome. it took some arguing to get our Residency Visa I can tell you that. And while I wish this guy luck on trying to enter NZ, I do not think it will be as easy as he thing to gain residency.

mike

i am sorry for my comments calling you a bum etc did not realise you had used your own funds'

As said before truely hope you can sort the immigration issues out as soon as possible
