Hello "May" people. Anyone with a lodgement date after 20th, got a CO yet?
So I just found out that my LIA gave me the wrong lodgement date. It was 23/4 instead of 14/5. However called INZ, CO assigned on 6/11 then employer interviewed on 24/11.
Final assessment done and submitted to 2PC today (27/11).
Now the wait continues...
We were told yesterday that our Co has finished the final assessment and we’re now in the queue for 2PC.. lodgement 15/05.. I can see the finish line 😬
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since CO was assigned on 13 Nov and I have not heard anything from her.
Calling INZ twice a week, no notes made on system.
Emailed her on 26 Nov - no reply
Is this normal? I was under the impression they have to do an assessment within a week and make contact to advise the same?
This waiting is way worse than waiting in the queue
Mine was allocated on the 6 Nov however the CO started her initial assessment on the 23 Nov...the only contact I got was 25 Nov where she updated me saying she's completed the initial assessment
Where did you get that impression, Zanique?
I wondered if it was the latter. We've noticed before that what happens in reality tends not to live up to Erin's account of best practice, ideal, expectations. I think she must have run a very tight ship when she was a CO manager. People's stories on the forum tend not to match up to these goals.
So to answer your original question, what's happening in your case sounds normal. Many COs don't announce themselves, and it's very often not possible for the applicant to know step by step what is being done on their case.
As the OP of this thread I just wanted to tell everyone to hang in there!! I had originally applied as an offshore applicant and have now been in NZ since august 2019.
