Variation of conditions timeframe

[Scotfraser]

Hi everyone

Just wondering if anyone knows the timeline for a variation of conditions to be approved from lodgement date.

I have seen the visa processing times page on the immigration Nz website but I know that this is not accurate for a lot of cases and wonder if anyone has any information with the backlog due to covid

Thanks as always for any reply’s 😀

Hi, how long did your VOC take?

I have submitted my VOC 10days ago, and still waiting. The processing time on the website is crazy long, it used to be 2weeks.

I submitted for a VOC shortly after Level 3 lockdown ended, in May. It took 5 weeks from date of receipt by INZ, or 4 weeks from lodgment date. Sent certified passport copies -- they never asked for passport. There were no issues.
