Additional tip to atleast lessen the dependencies of processing times from your end (since we can not control how INZ does their work... Always make sure to--
- submit a complete documentation including evidences as required. If you are un sure, you can asked them in this forum or perhaps call INZ directly and it will save you time
- If in your medical, there are some red flags, make sure to sort them out prior submitting them so as your files will just be referred to MA for formality. you will be asked to have a clearance from the specialist anyway so you can do it prior submission.
- Make sure you your documents are genuine...
- follow instructions (this is a classic tip)
- do a lot of research about NZ...
Goodluck.
