Lealeifuaneva Linda Moala appeared in south Auckland's Manukau District Court on Tuesday answering to charges of unlawfully asking for a fee for immigration advice, and taking payment.
Moala had taken payment from four of her family members and friends in the Tongan community.
She asked for a fee for the provision of immigration advice knowing she was neither licensed nor exempt.
Moala also pleaded guilty to one charge under the Crimes Act 1961 of obtaining a payment by deception.
