Application Dropped at Akl Central branch: 7 March
Application lodged in Manukau, money deducted, National security check initiated: 13 April
CO assigned (introduced, no docs required): 16 May
A new CO assigned: mid-September
NSC completed: Mid-November (7,5 months)
Application transferred to Hamilton branch around mid-Nov, got an email saying the wait for the new CO is 2-3 month - the same day as NSC completion (whaaat?!)
Contacted the second CO and he took my application to Management - application was allocated to the new CO the next day.
