That's great news, kne. Congratulations! Where are you based now?

@kne, congratulations! Did you send the employment contract back to your case officer or to the "nearest office"? Did you courier or email? Thanks. (I sent mine to the case officer but haven't heard from them so I thought I'd better courier to the Manukau office.)

I sent to the CO by NZ post, to the PO Box address.
As you can see in my timeline, from my contract deliveried to INZ, I have been assigned a new CO after one month, and then got AIP email in another one month, totally almost 2 months.

[Sunshinenz]

Thanks @kne. I've couriered the contract. (Just wanted to track the envelope so I know when it's delivered.)

Congrats kne!!!
