Immigration officers say they can find it difficult to assess whether a relationship is genuine or not, despite the fact that under our immigration instructions the onus of proof is on the couple, rather than on Immigration New Zealand, with regard to proof of the relationship being genuine and stable.
Les fonctionnaires de l’immigration trouvent parfois difficile d’évaluer l’authenticité d’une relation, et ce, même si, en vertu de nos directives en matière d’immigration, il revient au couple, et non au ministère de l’Immigration de la Nouvelle-Zélande, de prouver que la relation est authentique et stable.
