Dear Lijo John Tharakan,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 18 September 2023 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

‘I would like to know the number of applications(EOIs) that are currently
present in the Parent resident visa ballot pool after the August and
September 2023 EOI selections.

 

Can you also tell me what would happen to the criteria for selection from
the ballot pool once the EOIs in the queued pool have all been selected (
by 2025)?.Will all the 2500 EOIs be selected from the ballot pool ?. And
if that's the case , would they choose the 2500 EOIs using a ballot or
based on the date of application?’

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 16 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
