Hi All,
Recently I came back to NZ with expired travel conditions (coming back on the 10th of October) when my Travel Conditions expired on the 13th of September. I was not aware of this when leaving the country on the 31st of August for my first holiday in two years since coming to the country in September 2013.
So when I arrived I was let into the country on a visitors visa to apply for my visa again.
The monday after I arrived I submitted my appllication for PR as a previous resident (as you can when its less than 3 months expired) and now it has been processed and submitted back to me. The online application doesn't show anything in regards to PR but it did show my Visitors visa and expiry.
So on Friday I rang Immigration as they had changed my status, the woman on the phone said she couldnt advise me to the decision until I recieve my documents in the post but now my Visitors visa isnt showing online, so can I assume that it may have been approved?
I'm really hoping for some good news so I can start work again next week, I don't see any reason why it wouldnt be approved as I was here 300 days of each year in the 2 years of my residency visa!
Has anyone else had a similar expierence with PR? and why cant they just tell me over the phone !
Thanks
