FQ3.5 Disqualification of registrations (01/10/2001)

1. Sponsors must lodge only one registration within the registration period. If a single sponsor lodges more than one registration during the registration period, all the registrations lodged by that sponsor will be disqualified.
2. Each potential applicant can be included in only one registration. If a potential applicant is included in two or more registrations within one registration period, all of the registrations in which that potential applicant is included will be disqualified.
3. A registration under the Family Quota category will be disqualified if any of the potential applicants included in that registration have a residence application under any other category of Government residence policy under consideration by the NZIS at the date the registration under Family Quota category is lodged.
4. A registration under the Family Quota category will be disqualified if, at the time the registration is lodged, any of the potential applicants included in the registration are unlawfully in New Zealand or subject to s.129U of the Immigration Act 1987 (concerning refugee status claimants).

Note: Potential applicants should also be aware that they must be lawfully in New Zealand and not subject to s129U of the Immigration Act 1987 in order to lodge an application under the Family Quota category following a successful pool draw.

Note: Where a registration is disqualified the registration fee will not be refunded.
