• I understand that Opulentus Overseas Careers Pvt Ltd does not help us in explaining, translating or filing in the Immigration Application for New Zealand.

• I understand that Opulentus Overseas Careers Pvt Ltd is not an Immigration advisor or claimed another person is an immigration advisor as Opulentus is not lawfully able to give immigration advise to New Zealand. They have never committed any offense as they have written declarations from us that we discount the fact that Opulentus Overseas Careers Pvt Ltd is not an Immigration Advisor for New Zealand. They do not receive any money in return or for immigration advise as they neither are licensed nor exempt, so they are not committing any offense. "Giving people publicly available information (e.g. information on the Immigration New Zealand website) is not classified as immigration advice. And people who undertake clerical work, settlement services or translating or interpreting services do not need a licence.".

Carrying out clerical work, translation or interpreting services or settlement services.

  Clerical work
  

  Carrying out clerical work is not providing "immigration advice" under the Act. Clerical work is defined in section 5 of the Act and includes the provision or services in which the main tasks involve any or all of the following: recording, organising, storing, or retrieving information; computing or data entry; recording information on any application, request or claim on behalf of and under the direction of another person. The administrative elements of preparing a visa or permit are likely to come within the definition of "clerical work" and will not amount to "immigration advice". This includes completing an application form on behalf of and under the direction of another person and gathering information needed to make an application for a visa or permit.

  Translation or interpreting services
  

  Providing translation or interpreting services is not "immigration advice". A person who, in the act of interpreting or translating information, transfers immigration advice from one party to another is not personally providing immigration advice.

  Settlement services
  

  Providing settlement services is not "immigration advice". "Settlement services" are defined in section 5 of the Act as "all or any of a range of targeted support services provided for migrants, refugees and their families, including services for the purposes of enabling them to settle into the community, learn the language and find out how to access essential community services.
