How long does it take to get your blue stickers? Its been a week now and they havnt taken the money yet - according to the post office passports have been delivered.

[SNK05]

Have you looked on INZ at your local office processing times? I think generally they say 2-3 weeks and many peoples signatures seem to suggest that's a reasonable time frame too.

Good luck.....hope they come through soon for you....Congrats!

We were told 2 weeks back in April, but it took about 10 days.
I think our page on the NZIS website changed at that time as well to show we had an official visa.
You will stare at the stickers for a while when you get them!!

Ours was a Talent Visa and it took a month for NZIS to process.

Once they rec'd our passports, it took about 1.5 wks to get them back (UK to US)

Well we sent posted our passports off on 20th june and we're still waiting...but I thought I had seen another post about delays at the moment.

When did you send yours in?

[Motleybeast]

Our passports arrived with NZIS on June 19th and we're still waiting as well.

I emailed my CO about 10 days ago and yes, apparently they're quite busy at the moment. She said, they're taking roughly 4 weeks...

[JayBee]

Glad to hear that, Motley Beast - will give them till end of next week before chasing ours!!!

NZIS gave us a 3 week timeframe when we rang them last week, prior to posting.

OH got automated response from our case officer she is away.

As he needs his passport back urgently (before his boss realises he hasnt sent it off for renewal but to emigrate!!!!!!) he phoned the help line as it was urgent they have arranged to send it back without blue sticker as we are on the pile waiting for the case officers return .so maybe a few weeks we just have to send OH passport back once he gets back from business trip - just hope his boss doesnt ask him to go away again until we have our lovely blue stickers!!!

We are not going until december OH only has to give 1 months notice but thought out of politness he would give 2 months? But if he have to we will have to telll him sooner - he isnt going to be very pleased and we are worried he will sack OH if he finds out!!!!:wah

Need all the £ we can get as house hasnt sold (yet - there isnt much hope now)

Just had that wonderful email:

"I can now confirm that the application is approved in principle. As we already have your passports and authorisation for the migrant levy I can place your file into the queue.

The queue is currently about 4-5 weeks."

(Eeeek :uhoh, I am already 3 months late to start the job)
