    Default Status Approved Wiaiting for AIP

    Hi
    My status for SMC was approved on 11th April 2016 and I am waiting for AIP letter or email, Does anyone have same situation with henderson branch they are saying a big back log in henderson branch and it might take 2 weeks.
    Can someone reply how long it would take to get passports stamped and should I keep fingers crossed till it stamped or once approved is approved.
    Thanks for your support in advance

    Approved is approved. Congratulations!

    You still have some waiting ahead of you, though. It is perfectly normal that you don't get the AIP information and instructions (which can be sent either by email or through the post) for several weeks - ChrisMwn says it's often 4 weeks at the moment. Then after you send in your passport to get the residence visa label put in, in THEORY this can be done in a few days, but it's more often 2 - 4 weeks at the moment.

    Welcome to the AIP-waiting-club @ Henderson office.
    My application was approved on 6th April, now I'm still waiting.
    Based on my observations in various timelines here, those lodged in Auckland Central, Shanghai & London offices often get AIP letters quickly after online approval.
    People who have to wait several weeks for AIP letter often had their applications lodged in Henderson. Oh, Henderson.
