Probably your applicaiton is in Palmerston North branch.

My mate applied around same time and no updates yet. Still saying waiting for CO

Just for update my situation,last Friday I received a mail from INZ with our passport and paper Permanent Resident Visa for me and my wife, but I haven't received any other communication on regard, neither a copy of the e-visa by email.

Hi Marco,
On 23rd July, you posted that you are still waiting on your PR visa, but your signature says that the PR approved on 09/07/20? Could you please share your timeline again?
I am waiting for my PR Visa from last 50 days now....getting a bit restless

Hi @NZ029! Just received an email from INZ yesterday with my PR Visa attached on it. It's been almost 3 months of waiting. It was crazy because my Resident Visa only took 2 months then to get approved but for PR visa, it took longer than I expected..

Congratulations Thofranco.
Same here. Mt residency took 2 months and I never thought that PR will take more than that.
Yesterday, I called ANZ only to be told that my application has been transferred to Aipa, Samoa Branch. Fingers Crossed :/

Well, crazy maybe, but this latest three months IS coinciding with the Covid-19 pandemic and hence offices being on lockdown...
