hi there just wanted to tell you my resident visa got approved
we completed 3 years in new zealand and within that time got the PR i think if u work hard and pay taxes in a right way its not difficult to get it.
Below is the short description of our case
175 points SMC partnership based Henderson branch Auckland
18/08/2013 -ITA submitted
9/12/2013 -verification officer send questionnaire to both employers
16/12/2013- answer send
15/01/2014-case transfer to Auckland city
19/02/2014 case officer send an email that she is working on it
03/03/2014-PPI letter reducing pts to 95
18/03/2014 -reply send against the PPI letter
14/04/2014 -Approved
p.s PPI letter is scary but just put your pt to the case office and you will be fine
you should always take advise form a legal adviser
total time was 8 months hope this helps you guys to understand the time frame
thanks for all the reply its been great to read the forum story and divert your mind
