After some travels and fully occupied by work, I finally got some time posting.

I see Karl and the rest had already made it there. Congratulations to you all! Clapping

After a lengthly negotiation with my potential employer in NZ we decided to wait for my PR approval instead of giving in for a WV. We may leave a lot of things hangin if we push thru with the trip to NZ. We decided its better everythings settled before making the final trip plus you are not tied to your employer if somethin cameup not to good during my stint.

Anyways, we were finally selected last week ( EOI 120 points ) Clapping

. Thank you NZIS. Nice One

I called up NZIS in auckland and told me I may wait for 8 weeks before the verification finishes. This is just the average time that they are getting. This make take shorter ( hopefully ) or longer ( sigh ). We are praying and hoping we could be there before the end of the year.

Cheers to us who are ( again ) hangin tough as we wait our verification to be successfull and good luck to those still in the pool.
fingers crossed

Hi Arlevien,

Great to have you back! Clapping

I'm glad you are finally going to be joining us as Nu-Kiwis! It certainly makes sense to clear your desk before coming out and this can take longer than you think. Where will you be settling when you get here??

Best of luck!

Karl Nice One

hi Karl,

How's ur knee doing?

Well most friends are up on north shore and in and arnd orewa so most likely well settle there first, but relatives are in Auckland so it will be our landing area and starting point.

But we are open to wherever oppurtunity takes us, I have to visit ChristCH first to see how things are as I am hearing a lot of good stuff happening there...

Cheers!

Hi Arlevien,

I'am also from NY/NJ. Where about are you located? I'am also going to submit my EOI this week and was hoping if you could provide some details regarding the processing times that you got from NZIS. PM me if you prefer.
