Kia ora Luke Smith,
 
On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 1/05/2025 requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following:
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

I am a student from Vanguard Military School, and I am writing to request
a copy of the 2002 New Zealand Immigration Service Annual Report in PDF
format for a history assignment. I would be extremely grateful if you
could provide this information as soon as possible, ideally within 1 to 2
days, as my assignment is due soon.

If the 2002 report is unavailable, I would appreciate it if you could
provide any alternative reports or information from that period that cover
the exact topics contained in the 2002 report. Specifically, one of my
focus questions for the assignment is: "How did New Zealand respond
politically to Muslims coming into New Zealand after 9/11?" It is
important that any replacement information be a primary source of data,
not a secondary source, to best support my research.

I understand that under the Official Information Act 1982, you are
required to respond to this request within 20 working days. However, due
to the urgency of my assignment, I would greatly appreciate it if you
could expedite the response.
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 29/05/2025, 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].
