Dear Wendy,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of the 24^th of September 2022 requesting under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“As per your response at DOIA 2122-1465 on 21 February 2022, 5,523 Parent
Residence Expressions of Interest (EOIs) were in the pool as of 3 February
2022. These EOIs have a total person count of 8,713 people.

And per your response at DOIA 2223-0172 on 18 August 2022, a total of
5,618 Parent Residence Expressions of Interest (EOIs) were in the pool as
of 30 July 2022. These EOIs have a total person count of 8,847 people.

From the data, it seems the EOI number increased. Could you please clarify
if people can still submit a parent category expression of interest? If
they can, on which instructions their parent residence applications will
be assessed when the selection reopens?”

 

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

 

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