My husband and I have applied for a visa under smc as my husband is an IT developer and falls in the skills shortage list, we have submitted our docs and ita received on 3/10/14 but still no case officer, 6 months is approaching and not a peep its very disheartning as you cannot even contact anyone the website gives a nz number have tried to call but never get through plus with the time difference not always convenient anyone else having any issues or any advice, my husband has had no luck with jobs as they all want you to have your visa sorted!!
