Hello Everyone,
I have received the AIP email on 26 June for my SMC category residence application. Then on the second day, 27th, I dropped my passport at the Palmy INZ branch (I live in Palmy and the application was processed in Auckland Central).
It has been almost 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything yet. I understand the wait is actually not long as the aip letter says it can take up to two weeks.
Just wondering how long does this usually take? And do immigration acknowledge receiving the passport?
Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks.
