Subject: OIA22-029 Official Information request - Question regarding
Parents Residency Visa EOI

 

Dear Kris Faafoi,

 

My question is regarding the Parents Residency Visa EOI. The EOI
selections was due to start in May 2020 but suspended due to Covid.

At that time, the EOI selection for Skilled Migration stream was also
suspended

 

1:- INZ has allowed the skilled migrant EOI applicants to apply under
RV2021 visa but there has been no news of selection of the parents
residence EOIs. Could you guide by when the parent residency EOI
selections will be resumed.? It is odd that both skilled and parents EOI
selection were suspended at the same time but now only skilled EOI have
been given the chance of 2021 RV visa.

 

2:- If we refer to the  following INZ document , it seems there was a lot
of discussion on parents visa from March 2021 till Oct 2021

    
[3]https://fyi.org.nz/request/17478/respons...

Could you please be able to provide more update on decision regarding this
visa as there are many parents of the hard working migrants who are in the
queue since long.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

A KS
