Dear Ranjit,

 

I will be responding to your official information request.

Could you please clarify question 3 of your request.

 

I am interpreting your request as, Skilled Migrant Category residence
applications which were received by Immigration New Zealand, placed into
the priority queue, then subsequently approved after being issued an EVE
approval to have their application allocated to an officer after August
2020.

 

Please confirm if this is correct by 12 October 2020. If this is not
correct please clarify your question further.

Kind regards

Adam Jones
