This report (
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2019/07/1...XP6RuTrE5vEZI#) out in the media today highlights the fact that INZ now have more Residence applications currently on-hand, waiting to be processed, than there are approved Residence spaces for migrants in the NZ Residence Programme up to 31 December 2019. So it seems that INZ's strategy has been to halt all allocations of Residence applications for now, causing processing times to blow-out even further than they have been in recent months. An absolute mess.....
I may be being cynical here, but now I'm starting to wonder if the
apparently accidentally chaotic reorganization was a deliberate government ploy.
