About the practice
Anushka's practice is heavily Indian and Sri Lankan, with strong AEWV and partner-of-NZer case-load. She's known for thorough character-assessment work — Indian Police Clearance Certificate timelines, gap-explanation drafting, and the documentary-discipline that partner applications live or die by. She runs a three-adviser team plus two registered migration consultants; fee structure is fixed per pathway.
Typical case-load
Indian and Sri Lankan applicants; AEWV chefs and IT roles
