I feel strongly that this affects all bloggers and all forums, and I hope that people will start working together to get this sorted. Most people are ignoring it or do not realise just what the law means for all migrants, and that it affects the forums and the posters on teh forums just as much as it affects me and my blog. Anyone answering Immigration questions on any forum could be breaking the law. And the IAA refuse not only to tell you what you did wrong - but they wont tell us specificlaly how not to break the law. Good luck getting the info out of the IAA - it really pisses me off that they will not tell you what the charges actually are - and I am behind you and Mike every step of the way :) Mike already knows this - but please do let me know if there is anything you think I can do to help. I think we have a good case to lobby the Immigration Minister to change the law and give us back our voice. Hugs to you both Hxxx Tammy,

We are still waiting for the IAA to explain what we have done wrong......pretty scary really 2 months on and still no reply from them.

If they were actually helpful and provided some form of help then there wouldn't even be a need for the advisers industry. its good see somebody standing up to be mistreated and also challenging nazi uncalled for laws that exist. Best of luck to you, you have my support. i have dealt with these guys in getting my girl friend a work visa under partnership.

For the past 8 years I had my own Immigration website and helped thousands of immigrants WITHOUT getting a single penny for my efforts and I DO NOT intend to stop! I am waiting for my letter from Adolf (IAA) and will go all the way through the court system and I will not let them gag me, because I feel VERY strongly about this. The IAA is now like a boy with a new pocket knife - he does not really know what to do with it and is now cutting and stabbing at anything just to see how it works!! The IAA is shamelessly using the act as a means to protect the interests of its licensed members and to stop people criticizing NZ Immigration for it's third world service! DO NOT let them intimidate you out of your rights and make a stand, there is a LOT of people behind you on this. They did the same thing to the people at MOVE2NZ.
