hi! i know there are several ways to pay for ITA, but for Beijing branch, they don't accept via credit card at the moment so I had to issue a bankdraft, which of course, I have paid for in advance.

having said that, I can't track if they received and withdrew my payment or not..just a bit curious using credit card for payment, but do they immediately charge upon receipt of ITA?

also, what is the first contact after submitting an ITA? i submitted mine april 3rd but haven't received confirmation e-mail or anything.

thanks!

We paid by card and they took the money straight away. This was in London.
They issuead a receipt and we got a confirmation letter that we had lodged the ITA in a few days (I think).
You can check the NZIS login part of the site as this will change from EOI selected, etc and will have application residence decsion pending and a date received.
