I applied for SMC in Feb 2017, off-shore without job offer. 13 months later I got a JSV (no problems on my application), which I took and got a job within 2 weeks of arriving in NZ. Now I got AIP letter stating that I have to stay in that job for 12 months. I don't have a problem with staying in this job for a lot longer than that, but I understand this condition is incorrect as I didn't claim points for employment or employment outside Auckland.
How should I go about complaining about this decision? Should I just go back to the case officer or should I lodge a formal appeal? (I had a case officer for the original SMC, then another one after I submitted employment details to convert JSV to residence.) Please share if you have similar experience.
Thanks
