    You may submit a certified copy of your passport to fulfill the mandatory lodgement requirements for a Permanent Resident Visa (RV1.10.10(d)), but INZ may request your original passport at any time during processing of your application (A13.1(d)).

    My application has been returned because I sent an older version April 2019. They returned me a latest application which dated May 2019. I do not see any difference in both these. Not quite sure why would they do that.

    Application forms change periodically to accommodate changes in immigration instructions. The INZ 1175 form was changed in May 2019 to cater for applications by Resident Visa holders for a Permanent Resident Visa under the Christchurch Response (2019) category that had just been introduced at the time.

    It is a mandatory requirement for a Resident Visa holder applying for a Permanent Resident Visa to be made on an approved form, per RV1.10.10. As you used an outdated form, you failed to meet this requirement, and INZ was therefore correct to return your application to you pursuant to R2.50. It remains your obligation to lodge your application in the prescribed manner.
