    Default Time to process transfer of resident visa to new passport?

    Anyone got any recent experience of doing this, particularly in Wellington?

    I have a permanent resident visa but had to get a new UK passport, so I need to transfer the label.

    I sent in the application 2 weeks ago (dropped in office so no postal delays) but haven't heard anything yet. The money is out of my account though, so I know it's at least been processed in some way.

    Having a minor panic as I'm heading to the UK in just over 2 weeks and thought I'd have the passport back by now. I actually thought I could drop into the office and do it on the spot or else I'd have done it earlier, but was told they don't provide that service any more?

    I didn't provide evidence as I was travelling soon as I had 4-5 weeks when I submitted it and didn't think it'd be a problem (someone else told me it'd take 2 days!).

    Did you at least get an "Application Received" email from INZ?
