Changes to refugee law could put asylum seekers at risk.
Under proposed Government reforms, immigration officials would be able to consider crimes committed by refugee applicants.
The changes also introduce stricter rules, including mandatory biometrics appointments.
NZ Association of Migration and Investment Chair Simon Laurent told Ryan Bridge the new rules could have serious consequences for asylum seekers.
He says if they don't show up for the appointment, it appears their claim will be thrown out.
