Has anyone recently had their 'blue stickers' and passports returned from London? Just been quoted 'up to 3 weeks' by NZIS.

We really need a fast turn around, anyone had them returned within, say 10 days? Are they just covering themselves?

Have offered to pick them up from NZ House.

We were told 10 - 14 days back in September, and they arrived within 2 days! Guess it depends on the work load they have on! Congratulations on getting the blue though!! :D

our work and student visas took 3 weeks but only because we have to move in 2 weeks.Tell them your moving date is earlier than it actually is and they do move you up the list.
We were told it would take 2 weeks to be assigned a case officer but when I told them the urgency,we got one in 2 days!! and visa back in 3 weeks.

Good luck guys:nice1

I submitted everything 2 weeks ago and I am still waiting to hear anything from London. I'm really excited but want to get everything moving. Glad to hear it didn't take long for you, fantastic.
