Could you please advise what sort of envelope the ITA arrived in? Is it a big A4 pack or a smaller A5 - just wondered as the postbox at the end of our drive is tiny!!

Plus, has it come from UK or NZ?

Thanks
Moorf

Keep us informed of your progress then we will all have an idea of how long it takes etc

Good Luck with the rest of your application

hopefully we all will be receiving our ITA shortly... :hopeso :hopeso

[lynden]

wow!!!!Thanks everyone.
the envelope was a big one,like a plastic bag really about A4 size,it came from the London branch and was sent special delivery ,before noon,,I must admit to being surprised as I was getting worried about waiting 5 weeks for the decision successful,I thought I may have to wait the same for the ITA,but it came on the 2nd day.I will post my application next week(just waiting for the blood tests to come back on tuesday)and I will keep you posted on the progress.The ITA gives the name of your case officer and a contact email so at least you have someone to ask questions of. :hopeso :hopeso

I HAVE BEEN READING THROUGH THE ITA AND AM BEGINNING TO WONDER WHAT THE POINT OF THE EOI IS.I THOUGHT THAT THE NZIS DID PRELIMERNARY CHECKS,THATS WHY IT TAKES 6 WEEKS,AND THEN IF YOU WERE INVITED TO APPLY,BECAUSE OF THIS PRE-SELECION PROCESS ,YOU WERE PRACTICALLY GUARANTEED A PR.....SEEMS I WAS WRONG,,,ONLY NOW DO I HAVE TO PROVE THAT MY JOB OFFER AND WORK EXPERIENCE ARE REAL AND RELEVANT AND HAVE TO PRODUCE CONTRACTS AND LETTERS STATING WORKING HOURS ETC, AND GET LETTERS FROM PAST EMPLOYERS AND PROVE THAT MY JOB IS IN A SKILLED INDUSTRY ETC ,ETC,,,,,,,,,,,WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE EOI????????????????????????? :no :eek
