Hi Japjeet,

 

Thank you for your email below. To ensure we provide you with the correct
information can you please confirm you are wanting:

 

·         The total number of SMC applications in the INZ Manukau office
that are allocated to a case officer and pending a decision?

 

Where you have stated onshore and the date of 10 July 2019, are you
wanting these figures only for the SMC applications that were accepted for
processing by INZ before 10 July 2019, and where the principal applicant
is currently onshore?

 

Please provide a response by 26 May 2021 so we can then proceed with your
request.

 

 

Kind Regards,
