Ok, thanks for sharing the updates. Hope you will receive a good news very soon..LIA can get more information compare to our phone call with INZ.
I usually call to INZ on Saturday which can be easily to catch up their line within 10 mins. Last Saturday I called up and they said my application is still waiting for CO and submitted on 17th Dec 2018.
Thanks.
Congratulations itmanpreet.
Sorry I am a bit confuse on your timeline. Is 10/10 is the date you get your JSV evisa?
The response to the escalation requested by my LIA. No clear answer to the time frame of CO allocation.
"Thank you for your email.
We have considered the request for escalation, but do not find that the application warrants prioritisation in this case. This application will remain in our queue pending allocation to an Immigration Officer. Please note that we are currently allocating work that was received early December 2018. Due to volumes we cannot guarantee any timeframe for when this application will be allocated.
For current processing times, please refer to our website:
https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-...sa-application
We appreciate your understanding that not all requests can be granted. Please note that INZ will not be responding to further communication regarding this request and the justification of our decision."

Still December... that's truly terrible.
It's tempting to write to the ombudsman and the press now they have confirmed officially through an FYI request to see if this pilot can be blocked from going any further for those applications in the queue. As it's only a pilot I would imagine now would be the to moan before the 3 months runs out and it becomes standard practice. The temptation to rally anyone on here to all complain is tempting if people thought it would get traction. Just doing it on your own they will probably just sweep the letter under the rug and carry on.
The government are unlikely to listen to you and others who have applied for Residence, I feel, because you don't have a vote. You can't unseat the politicians. I've often down the years seen people awaiting attention state that things would be different when they could take part in elections, as they would make their voices heard on behalf of migrants. Since most people don't carry on visiting the forum for long once they get established in NZ, and busy with their new lives, I have no way of knowing whether they're still paying attention to what is going on nowadays, but if you could find some way of reminding ex-migrant residents and citizens of the uncertainties of being in the INZ queue, which are far worse since their day, they might speak up for you.
