Dear Davinder,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 8/11/21 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“Can I please have your assistance in gathering some information regarding
the SMC residency applications that are being sent to the Quality control
team 1. As of 8 November 2021, what is the date of application (SMC
Application) for the files that are at the front of the queue (to be
allocated to an officer in the Quality Control Team)? 2. What is the
current waiting time for a file to be allocated to an officer in the
Quality Control Team? 3. My file is in the queue to be assigned to a
Quality control assessment since 29 July 2021 and still has had no officer
assigned to my case. Are such long lead times normal? If not can you
please let me know the reason for such long waiting times.”

 

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

 

Due to the current Covid-19 alert level, the Ministry is currently focused
on assisting with the pandemic response and your response may be delayed.
The Ministry will contact you to provide further updates specific to your
request once it has been assessed.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [1][MBIE request email].

Dear Davinder,

Thank you for your information request regarding the time taken for SMC applications to be allocated to the quality control team.

It would help us to provide you with a complete response if we can identify your application in Immigration New Zealand’s Application Management System. Please send either your application number or full name and date of birth to [email address]. I suggest that you do not send this information through the FYI website as information sent through that website is publicly available and can be viewed by anyone who can access the site.

Ngâ Mihi,
