    Default smc processing time henderson branch?

    Hello guys
    Any SMC residence approved lately? Seems I have not come across any case in this forum of approved residence cases in akl lately. New system puts you through at leats 5 different "officers" and wait times are incredibly long.

    Thankful if u share your experiences.

    7 months waiting without absolutely no word from them.

    Hi!
    Me and my OH got our visa approved last week. Yesterday i sent our passports to Henderson branch and now we are waiting to get passports back with blue stickers I don't know the exact dates but maybe this will be helpful:
    EOI selected in the middle of December 2012
    ITA received in the end of December 2012.
    Documents sent in the beginning of January 2013
    Visa approved last week.
    We didn't even know that we have CO allocated or that anything is going on with our application.
    Wish you all the best and i hope your application will be approved as soon as possible.
