Online status changed to "APPROVED"

[sunnylubs]

Hello Everyone,

My CO was assigned on my SMC application at AKL Central Branch on 16 May 2016 and my employer returned questionnaire on 23 May 2016.

When I contacted Immigration contact center on 25 May 2016, My application was already assigned to AIP letter queue.

Yesterday my online status was changed to APPROVED.

But, I still didn't recieve an email from my CO stating my application has been approved nor the AIP letter by mail?

How long does it take for AIP letter to arrive by mail?

For me it took 20 days! Henderson branch.
There is a guy named Rohit on an earlier thread having to wait ~ 35 days!
Reading from all the posts here it seems like Auckland Central is doing faster than Henderson. Hope you get AIP letter next week

Congratulations!

It can take several weeks. If you haven't had your AIP info after three weeks, get back to INZ to make sure nothing has gone astray. (The CO will have added your name to a list for AIP info to be sent out, and that is dealt with by clerks in a different section. The waiting time depends on how many other cases from all the COs went onto the list just before yours.)
