I just received an email from Immigration NZ asking me to fill out INZ1200. Has anyone ever had to do the same?

https://www.enz.org/forum/showthread.php?t=55362 has some information from an LIA of the situation surrounding use of this form then (2019). Posts earlier in the thread mention the need for very full evidence.
Thank you for the link. Sadly, it doesn't help much in my situation. I might write my CO for some clarifications. Appreciate the help anyways.
Final update: my residency was approved on 14th February. Overall, it took INZ 10 months to decide on my application. I'm beyond happy
Congratulations!
