Thanks for your reply winsome.
Usually they will deduct money and then will update on the system about lodgement with back date( as per previous cases on this forum) its what I have heard here. Did you applied on your own or through LIA?

^ I have applied on my own.

Processing at Manukau - that's the routine arrangement intended at the moment, but INZ can and have moved work anywhere, to help out when one branch was very busy and another had spare capacity. (I don't expect there's much spare capacity anywhere just now.)

Good Luck Hope14!
Today news from Immigration Minister was quite positive. Lets all hope it will take less than 12 months for approval!

He said to prioritise "highly skilled" applicants.That is minister talk for carry on with your internal prioritisation, while we do nothing.

Highly skilled or people who are earning 104K/year (their internal criteria) had been prioritized already and people were/are getting an outcome in weeks, so why would he mention to sped up even more (instead of weeks just in days)?.

Thank you Matematica84
Good luck to all of us who are waiting for the residence visas. Hopefully they’ll sort out the New Residence Program planning soon.
