RV: Section 49 removal processing time?

[Sackboy]

Hi guys,

I was wondering how long does it take for the Section 49 removal process?

I would really appreciate if someone could give me their experience on section 49 removal request time.

Thank you.

My experience...

Just an update - the process was so easy! Wrote a letter requesting the removal of the conditions, enclosed letter from employer confirming start date and length of service, bank statements showing wages going in and pay slips along with passport.

Dropped off at INZ Hamilton by hand on Thursday 14th April. Received back by courier on 19th April with a new visa label! A letter enclosed states that my wife and son should send their passports in when they arrive in July. I can now go take up a new job that I've been offered in Wellington.

Hi MLVB,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

So it only took less than a week.

Cool then, I will submit it now, because I am planning to go outside NZ on this December.
