Quality Assurance Process for Parent Resident Visa

Mary made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Mary to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Mary

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment – Immigration New Zealand,

I hope this message finds you well.

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?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,
Mary
