Hello

Has anyone applied for their FIRST parternship work visa this year and have had any progress? We applied on 15 April 2019 (partner is currently on interim visa which expires 6 January 2020) and have still not had a CO assigned. It will be 6 months since we applied soon.

When we applied in April the timeframe was that 95% of applications are approved within 4 months. Then that changed to 5 months. and this month it changed to 7 months

We are that unlucky 10% who may fall into the 7 months.

Could anyone please share their recent experiences. We are getting really worried and are scared that my partner will have to leave NZ if the timeline increases again 1st of November like it has been for the last few months since we applied

Many thanks
