Kia ora Mary,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 13 August 2024 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

‘I am writing to request information regarding the quality assurance
process for parent resident visas. Could you please provide details on the
following: 1. How many applications are currently in the queue awaiting
this process? 2. What is the standard processing time for the quality
assurance check for parent resident visas? 3. How is the order of
applications determined in the queue? 4. The INZ website mentions an
average processing time of 8 months for parent resident visas. Will
applications that have been pending for more than 8 months receive
priority for the quality assurance check?’

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 13 August 2024, 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
