Wellington branch (waiting to hear something from CO)

[Nagnz]

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and i would like to share my experience with all you guys.
basically i am working in Wellington and i applied my residency on September.
i got 190 points and i have close family in NZ.

these are the dates
ITA submitted on September 16th
ITA updated on September 17th (payment $1810 deducted from c card)
medicals updated on october 7th and documents returned on the same day to my home.
case officer allocated on November 1st

But i didn't get any emails or calls from the case officer, i just called immigration and they said that my case officer was allocated on November 1st.

that's all for now, i am waiting to hear something from the CO.

Hi... Nagnz.. Congrats for your progress in the procedure. Can you tell me when did you submit your file? with how many points and to which branch? Thanks.

Is somebody from MBIE (http://www.mbie.govt.nz/contact-us) handling your case?

I don't understand why they would, not INZ?

Hi otaku,
yes, some one from MBIE. because immigration department is one of the part in http://www.mbie.govt.nz/

thanks

Entirely variable because every case is different, and INZ will check and verify every piece of evidence (so some delay can happen while they wait for replies from people not under their control). You can look on the INZ Wellington branch website for their "processing times" page, but what you will see there is just the best guess based on recent averages, never a promise. All INZ times have to be treated as elastic.

Hi congrats for your progresss man ! I have applied more then a month ago and received a letter from to assign a CO in 30 days but still haven't received anything from them wondering when your CO assigned does your online status did get changed to processing or its still same. I thought may be I haven't called them and if they have assigned me a CO then i might have no idea about it !

Any update pls share here would be appreciated !

thanks
