NZ Residency Blue Stamp timeframe?

[beautybysummer7]

Hi

Just wondering how long it takes for the blue residency stamp to be added into a passport and sent back ?

my husband sents his 10 days ago and the $310 levy fee was deducted from our account the same day they recieved the papers.

we just need the passport back asap for a few things.

(its with the Auckland Manukau branch)

from offshore (Singapore) INZ Shanghai branch returned the passport after 2 weeks with blue stickers. it could be slow processing as you are already based in NZ. It wont harm to give them a call and explain them that you need the passport for so n so reason.

Congrats. I know it is a painful waiting game with INZ You should probably get the documents within this week provided you had paid for return courier along with your immigration levy.
