Student Visa Rejected
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has been through a similar situation.
I applied on **12 May 2026** for a Phd, together with my husband and infant as my dependants. Unfortunately, my student visa is declined.
The main concern raised by Immigration New Zealand was regarding the **credibility and availability of our financial evidence**. We genuinely believed we had submitted a very strong application with all the available supporting documents, including proof of funds, assets, sponsorship evidence, and other relevant documents.
I'm now considering reapplying **alone**, strengthening the financial side of my application, and then having my husband@ and child apply later once my student visa is approved.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Did applying alone make a difference? Were you later able to bring your dependants? I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share.
Thank you!
