flag A 5-year-old autistic boy in New Zealand, Aidhan Nithin, may be deported after immigration officials denied his visa, citing potential high costs to health and education services. flag His father, a nurse on New Zealand’s Tier 1 Green List, moved from India in 2024 with his family, both of whom are essential healthcare workers. flag Despite submitting medical evidence showing Aidhan’s progress in kindergarten, immigration authorities rejected his applications, including a visitor visa and appeals. flag A Section 61 discretionary application is now under review, which could restore his status. flag The case has drawn public outcry, with over 4,000 people signing petitions and local MP Rachel Boyack criticizing the decision as unfair. flag Immigration NZ maintains its health and cost rules must be applied consistently, but the situation highlights concerns about the impact on essential workers and their families.
