Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum.
I have known this forum since 2008 and from time to time I read through to gather valuable information.
I appreciate the admin of this forum for putting together this wonderful info.
I would need help please.
I am NZ resident (since 2009) and have applied for my wife's resident visa under family: partnership category at Manukau branch.
2 weeks after lodgement, we received application along with all documents back stating "failed lodgement" due to missing original birth certificate.
within 3 hours receiving this application- we included what was missing (Luckily we had original BC handy)and filled up new application form and re-submitted to the same branch.
we just saw online status- as pending today with no visible lodgement date. however this time its a new application number.
Now my question is what would be a lodgement date for this new application, ? the initial date i.e few weeks ago or yesterday's date?
do INZ check all sorts of documents again and then accepts or just check the missing document and straight away accepts it?
would this problem cause any further delays in processing?
Thank you so much :-)
