A New Zealand-born teen threatened with deportation has mixed emotions, now that he's allowed to stay in the country.
Daman Kumar faced deportation with his long-time overstayer parents to India, a country he'd never visited.
Associate Immigration Minister Chris Penk has granted the 18 year-old a resident visa - but has ordered Kumar's parents to leave immediately.
Kumar's lawyer, Alastair McClymont, says they're unlikely to be forced out any time soon.
"Usually, you know, Immigration New Zealand are pretty good at talking to people in this sort of situation and trying to negotiate a voluntary departure."
