How many SMC resident visa application processed/completed in May 2019?

Allan made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Allan to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Allan

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

According to the SMC resident visa processing time on the INZ website, 50% of the applications completed in 5 months.

In May 2019, INZ accepted 1,025 SMC resident applications. So based on the application processing time, 50% of the application completed processing in October 2019 for May 2019 SMC applicants.

That means 1025/2 = 512.5 SMC resident visa applications from May 2019 completed processing.

Can I know is the stats right or wrong?

And is INZ lagging behind in the processing numbers?

Yours faithfully,
Allan
