Hi Veronica

According to the latest fact sheet on the NZ Immigration web site, approx 70% from those who achieve the selection from the EOI pool are invited to apply for a visa, of these approx 95% are successful in being granted residence. Try this address below:

If link doesn't work, go the immigration web site and follow fact sheet link on front page.

Last week's update on NZIS gives some figures on the number of applications processed accepted and rejected. I was quite surprised at how high the numbers of rejections there were. You do however have to consider that the numbers are worldwide.
