Dear Wendy

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 13 September 2023 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

‘1. Please help provide the criteria for priority processing of each visa
category, including all temporary and residence categories.

 

2. Please help provide Immigration New Zealand's response plan when
technical problems occur in the system during the application submission
process.

 

3. If the visa application is delayed due to technical problems, will it
be eligible for priority processing after the technical problems are
resolved?’

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 11 October 2023, being 20 working days after the day your
request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then,
we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.  If you have any
enquiries regarding your request feel free to contact us via email to
[1][MBIE request email].

 

Nâku noa, nâ
