Fighting to stay in New Zealand: "Don't send us back to S. Africa"

Free 5-Day Life in NZ videos NOW! ➡️ ⁠⁠www.nzahead.com/free

This is the story of Jessie, a member of the NZ Ahead community, who moved with her family from South Africa to New Zealand.

This move hasn't been easy.

Changes within NZ Immigration have meant that Jessie and her family may no longer meet their Visa requirements and could find themselves with no other choice but to return to South Africa.

This episode is an emotional one. After two job losses and a family death, Jessie now finds herself fighting to stay in New Zealand.

This is her story so far. We hope to do a follow-up episode when we have more news to share.

Thank you, Jessie, for bravely telling your story and highlighting what happens when changes in life happen unexpectedly.
