Hi all,
I know it is never possible to say how long these things will take, but has anybody recently had PR granted (last 3 months) and how long did it take?
I STUPIDLY booked a holiday to Australia, leaving a month after my travel restrictions expired on my Resident Visa.
My lodgement date for my PR application was 30th May, INZ have confirmed my application is with a CO and in it's final stages, we are due to fly on 26th June.
INZ website currently says 75% are processed within 28 days, but even that's cutting it fine (again please no comments on my stupidity, I am VERY aware haha).
They said unless we have an emergency (bereavement or surgery that we need to leave NZ) they won't return our passports until the decision is made.
Getting a bit nervous that holiday is going to get cancelled!
Thank you,
Sarah
