Processing times - IPB Office

[Zof]

Hello,

I sent all my documentations to Christchurch area office on the 15th September, they informed me that they have forwarded all the information I provided in the ITA application to the IPB branch on 22th September.

On the http://www.immigration.govt.nz web page for my Lodgement Date stand 15 Sep 2014, I guess there is a gap for the documents relocation time needed between Christchurch Office and IPB Wellington.

I presume that they received all documents before the 15th of October, and I still waiting for CO to be allocated to my application!

I found processing time on the http://www.immigration.govt.nz/branc...ssingtimes.htm web page for IPB office, there stand following:
"Skilled Migrant: Will be allocated to an immigration officer within two weeks and could take up to a further six months to finalise."

I asked them at the beginning of December
»When can I expect CO to be allocated to my application. «

They answered to me
»That my application is scheduled to be allocated to a case officer in early January. «

I send them mail again ten days ago, but no answer.

My question is, should I keep pressure them, or just leave it as it is, and wait for CO to be allocated???

PS.
Also I send some additional documentation to the IPB office for my new born and there is no feedback if they received documentation!!!

Can someone give me advice, what should I do?

Thanks

Pressurizing is unlikely to help as the questions answered may not always be the same person that took your previous question. Having some patience is difficult but that's the test most of us go through with INZ.

Regarding additional documents, these go through various hands (reception then internal sorting team etc etc) before filing with rest of your documents and then update on INZ's website so that could be the delay.

Thanks for the advice, I will try to be patient as much as possible
