Dear Dr Ana Popovska Stojanovska,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 10 August 2020 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

I have two questions regarding parents of NZ residents and citizens. A
number of parents are in New Zealand under the conditions of several types
of temporary visas.My first question will be to ask you to provide the
exact  number. The second question  is how many of these parents, who are
already  here , have submitted EOI for Parent Resident visa. Please , if
it is not much trouble, provide the number of EOIs and the number of
people included in.

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

Please note, due to ongoing COVID-19 response work, requests are currently
being triaged and those relating to Covid-19 processed as a priority.
Remaining requests are being assessed as per the Ombudsman’s guidance
(which can be found here:
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/news/chief-ombudsmans-statement-official-information-response-times-during-covid-19-emergency)
and processed accordingly.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [2][MBIE request email].

Hi Ana,

 

Thank you for your email below received on 10 August requesting
information under the Official Information Act. We are seeking
clarification from you on the following:

 

Part 1:

“A number of parents are in New Zealand under the conditions of several
types of temporary visas. My first question will be to ask you to provide
the exact number.”

 

Please clarify, narrow or re-scope this part of your request. You have
requested the number of ‘parents’ in NZ on different types of visas which
we would not be able to provide as we would not be able to clearly
identify which applications are for clients who are defined as ‘parents’
unless you were to narrow this down to a certain visa application type i.e
Visitor Guardian which is a visa type specifically for parents. To ensure
you get the information you are looking for please clarify this part of
your request.

 

Part 2:

How many of these parents, who are already here , have submitted EOI for
Parent Resident visa. Please , if it is not much trouble, provide the
number of EOIs and the number of people included in.

 

For part 2 of your request we can provide you the number of EOIs for
Parent Resident Visas that have been submitted as at 10 August 2020.
Please confirm our interpretation of part 2 of your request.

 

Please provide us with a response by 24 August 2020.

 

Kind Regards,

Lautalie Leausa Vaa
