New Zealand parents reunion visa temporarily closed. What should we do?

Recently, the adjustment policy of the New Zealand Immigration Bureau to temporarily close the parents' reunion visa for two years has aroused the concern of some China applicants who have just immigrated or are preparing to immigrate to New Zealand. Many applicants are upset and flustered. Everyone suddenly didn't know what to do. Generally speaking, people who have New Zealand PR and have been naturalized, if they want to reunite with their parents and live together, I suggest you apply for a three-year multiple-entry visa first.
