Ref: 1920-1065

 

Dear Junlong,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 9 January 2020 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

1. Could you please provide the current version of the internally set
prioritisation criteria for Skilled Migrant Category application? And if
there is any link we can follow for the update of this criteria?

 

2. In this FYI resource
(https://fyi.org.nz/request/11454/respons...),
I saw the point 3 in the response of Question 1-2, it's mentioned that
Offer from Accredited Employer is listed as a priority to be processed.

 

I wonder who and how I should inform when my employer becomes the
Accredited Employer so my application could be prioritised? And after
that, how long will it take before my application is allocated to a Case
Officer?

 

3. May I request the oldest SMC application in the backlog as at the time
this request is being reviewed?

 

4. Is there any government meeting notes mentioning that the current
internal prioritisation criteria will be taken away, or any changes will
be applied to these criteria?

 

Please note that the days from 25 December 2019 to 15 January 2020
(inclusive) are defined as non- working days in the Act and are not
counted in the calculation for the response due date. This will affect the
time period for responding to your request.

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding
your request feel free to contact us via email [1][MBIE request email] or
using the contact details below.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

Greetings Junlong Wang

 

I am currently working on the response to your information received on the
9 January 2020.

 

Before I proceed, can you clarify the following part of your request?

 

3. May I request the oldest SMC application in the backlog as at the time
this request is being reviewed?

                

My interpretation : What is the date for the oldest application in the
skilled migration queue pending allocation?

 

Or you after a copy or details of the oldest application in the queue?

 

Please provide a response by  COB Friday  7^th February 2020. If a
response is not received by then, I will proceed with your request with
the interpretation noted above.

Dear Margaret Huang,

Thanks for your update. However, I feel it is hard to understand the attached meeting notes. Would you mind explaining a bit how it relates to the plan of possible changes to the priority criteria of SMC?

Yours sincerely,

Junlong
