    Default Return of documents

    It has suddenly occurred to me that INZ have not returned any of my documents sent in support of SMC application. It was a long time ago when we submitted, but I was pretty sure they needed originals of key documents: my question is should I be getting them back, or did I make a big mistake in giving originals?

    If it helps- we submitted in person at NZ House in London.

    Puzzled...

    We submitted in person with original documents and had them returned about a week later (or sooner) by special delivery. I think we had documents one day and AIP the next If I were you I would contact your CO and query this.

    Yep- sent an email. Feel a little daft that we hadn't realised earlier!

    Received a reply from INZ. I won't get the documents back until the migrant levy has been paid.

    So- once the children's passports have been renewed and we have sent all to be stamped I will then get the docs back (Phew!)

    Ta,

    Glad you got an answer - that a weight off your mind. We paid our migrant levy at the same time as submitting our ITA (well we filled out the form and card details !!) which is probably why we got ours back straight away.

    I didn't get mine back until my migrant levy had been paid. They sent everything back in one go - original docs and passport with visa in it.
