you mentioned that:
You arrived in New Zealand on 7 April 2023 on a work visa as a health care (caregiver).
You have work experience from India, likely linked to a college or institution.
But Immigration New Zealand (INZ) did not accept that experience when you applied for an extension.
This is unfortunately common, especially if:
The experience is not formally documented or lacks verifiable certificates.
The institution isn’t recognized or accredited.
The work was informal (e.g., internships, unregistered jobs).
What you can do:
Gather better documentation: If possible, try to obtain a reference letter, employment certificate, or affidavit from the college or supervisors who can validate your experience.
Use NZ-based work experience: If you've been working since arriving in NZ, your local experience as a caregiver may strengthen your visa renewal.
Talk to a Licensed Immigration Adviser: You can find one through https://www.iaa.govt.nz (Immigration Advisers Authority). A licensed adviser can help challenge the denial or reapply with stronger evidence.
