The new Immigration Minister has been announced. Hon. Kris Faafoi will be sworn in as the Minister of Immigration, and the Minister of Justice. The Associate Minister of Immigration will be Hon. Phil Twyford.

Minister Faafoi was one of the Associate Ministers of Immigration under Minister Ian Lees-Galloway. He took over the portfolio as Immigration Minister once Minister Lees-Galloway resigned.

Our office is very much looking forward to working with both Ministers in their roles on ministerial requests under the Immigration Act, and in our roles on the ADLS Immigration and Refugee Committee.

Everything was very transparent. We only contacted him over the phone and emails. He got the residents visa approval in the first go. It didn't get rejected or had to appeal like other lawyers said. Stewart knows exactly what he does. He doesn't panic. He a real expert. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to have their visas done peacefully at reasonable fees. Thank you Stewart and Dalley Sundar Law team. You guys rock
