    I might contact her later this week. Since my formal complaint response from an immigration manager, I feel a bit deflated.
    It's worth a try for sure!

Also, if local businesses are being affected because the people they want to employ long-term can't get settled in life because of the INZ problems, the employers may be willing to be involved in making representations.
    Thanks for the tip JandM - would you suggest neighbours/workmates etc writing letters or emails to my MP highlighting the situation?

    I think, whatever anyone is prepared to do, as many people as possible in whatever way they like, has to help get the politicians' attention.

    Well, yes, because the 2019/20 reporting period ends on 30 June 2020! There's only 5 months of data in that reporting period (data current as of 4 December 2019) compared with 12 months for the others.

    If applications for the remaining 7 months (December 2019 to June 2020) are decided at a similar rate to the first 5 months, then 2019/20 will actually have a slight increase compared with 2018/19.

    Oops my bad for reading it wrong! Thanks for clarifying

    Still no movement in the SMC queue, according to an email reply received from an SMC manager today - the queue is still stuck at 11 December 2018. When I asked what the plan was to clear the backlog that is still growing, the answer was "The Manukau Office is currently resourced to meet the New Zealand Residence Programme as set out by the Cabinet (of New Zealand Government). The new programme has yet to be announced."

    I don't even know what that means!
