Hello,

Happy to tell you that we did an interview few days ago. We feel that the interview was successful and expecting the decision to be in a month.

The interview focuses in three essential points (career, ties in NZ and knowledge about life and cost living), the interview was conducted over the phone and it lasts for 45 min.

Hope to hear good news soon.

Regards,

Ali Ismail

Good for you!
I pray for a quick resolution for you!

[AliIsmailNZ]

Upon the interview, we are now facing three scenarios: PR, WTR or ITA declined.

Can someone appeal for the decision of the NZIS ?

There is an appeal process. See here....

We didn't have any interviews... is this normal?

If you have a job offer then you don't normally have an interview.

Aha that would be it then. Thanks Ian. :)

Hello,

I got today an email from my CO, he stated that my ITA is still in progress to a decision this month hopefully.

When the decision is done, it will be forward to the CO manager for more verification and review, then there will be the final release of the decision which will be forwarded to me.

God help me, I waited too much.

Hang in there, Ali. Good things come to they who wait and you've been waiting long enough to get lots of good things. The best to you and yours, Kristina.:nice1

Hi Kristina

Very kind emotional support, specially we have been through so much hassle and waiting to get this far and had to just keep saying to ourselves "Stay patient".

Inshallah there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hey Ali - hang in. I'm in the same boat as you. Interview 6 days ago. I was told by London CO that it would take a week or 2 for me to hear from them.

[JandM]

All the best. :nice1

All the best Ali, am same boat - waiting since oct 2007 ITA submitted. where are you applying from and to which centre? am in SA and applying to London and wondering why not interview all this while.

[folubode]

Hi Andrew, should I say welcome back. Hope you'll have good news from INZ as promised soon. I'm still waiting praying they'll come to SA for interview and even say something good - it's been wearying.

[Hejwitch_uk]

Hi folubode,

I am Iraqi, currently residing in Jordan, I started my EOI when I was in Syria in March 2007, my application is being processed in "Immigration Profiling Group" in Wellington branch.

Hope you will get interviewed very soon.

fingers crossed :)

Hi Folubode,

Thanks - had a great time in London. It really does seem strange that they didn't interview you when they cam out to SA in March this year. I assume you have a case officer already? Why not send an e-mail asking for an update. A year to process an ITA does sound a bit excessive.

It sure do sound like a positive feedback from your CO. The long wait is almost over, a desicion this month means anothe stage of your life settling in New Zealand.

While the rest of us still on the process, good luck to all of us!
