We have now had the opportunity to complete a careful review of your submission dated 27 July 2010 and the issues relating to the processing of XXXX's Visitor Visa application (AN: 97354XX) processed by our visa officer Claire Zhou. You are concerned that not all facts were considered in the processing of this application.
Firstly, we acknowledge there have been some procedural errors made during the processing of this case. I have identified the following issues:
• Our visa officer requested a copy of the applicant’s labour contract in her letter dated 23 June 2010 although the contract was provided at lodgement;
• Our final decision letter dated 5 July 2010 stated we had given the applicant an opportunity to provide comment on the concerns raised on 23 June and then stated (sic), …’however, you have not responded us to date’. After reviewing the assessment notes, it is clear the visa officer did receive the additional supporting information from your office on 30 June 2010 and considered this before making her decision. However, she added the above comment to the final decision letter through error.
• The final decision letter did not provide full (detailed) reasons for the decline decision, as policy requires.
After checking the assessment notes for this case, I can assure you that all information provided in support of the case, including your 30 June submission was considered before the final decision recommendation was made. Unfortunately, this was not reflected in our visa officer’s written correspondence to you.
After reviewing your request for reconsideration, and following careful consideration of the applicant’s incentives to return to China and the overall circumstances of this particular case, we are willing to offer the applicant a two-month visa to visit New Zealand. If you accept this offer, please forward a copy of this email along with the clients’ passports to Immigration New Zealand’s Beijing branch, attention ‘Daniel Prain’.
We have also noted your suggestion of taking further disciplinary action against the visa officer due to the processing errors identified in the assessment of this case. We consider under the circumstances it is more appropriate to provide the visa officer with specialised training. Additionally, we have also conducted follow up training with all our visa processing staff to ensure appropriate risk management and better quality written correspondence on visa assessments.
Please contact me direct if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dan Prain
