Restart EOI selection

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

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Neco Yang to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Neco Yang

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

In October last year, Immigration New Zealand announced that the EOI selection for skilled migration will continue to be suspended for six months. This decision will be reviewed in April this year. However, it is almost July and the Immigration still has not announced what this decision is. Every time the Minister of Immigration is asked when it comes to this issue, the Minister of Immigration has declared that the decision will be announced soon over and over again. May I ask:

1. How to define "soon" in INZ's way, is it days, weeks, or months?
2. Are there any news, updates, and decisions regarding EOI for skilled migration?
3. An applicants who are also waiting for the restart of EOI call the Immigration Call Center the month. The agent declared that the EOI decision is already on the desk of the Minister of Immigration, but has not yet decided when to announce it. Please comment on this.

Yours faithfully,
Neco
