Woodhouse left the decision on their appeals to an Immigration NZ official, who turned them down. A spokeswoman for Woodhouse said today that the students' appeals were delegated to Immigration NZ officials because new Associate Immigration Minister David Bennett's authority to handle appeals is still passing through Cabinet. But three months later, after Immigration NZ uncovered the Indian agents' fraud, Rani was issued with a deportation order. McClymont said the qualifications earned by most Indian students here were "worthless" back in India. Everywhere you look on Immigration NZ and in the advertising by the agent in India, it's pathways to residency.
