No. Not particularly.

There is a shutdown over the Christmas/New Year period so that can result in a lengthier wait although the Immy offices would want to finalise as many cases with job offers as possible to help the NZ employers for the forthcoming start of the new year.

Policy changes being actioned can slow up the line & bring about a short set down period but essentially it is really about each individual case.

Applications from some countries take longer than from other countries for instance.
It may take time to verify details given or check out a job offer, a medical, a police check.
Staff may be more short-handed one month to another.

There are many variables.

I imagine they will have been inundated with extra work due to people trying to beat the deadline before the policy changes.

Hopefully I've got in before the rush
Am keeping an eye on the picks to see how many EOI have been pulled, plus with the change in processing for SMC it may affect the times

My talent visa was granted at 0820hrs (GMT) 14/08/18..........yay.....now we wait on my good ladies partner of a worker work visa and the bratlings dependent child visitors visas Mrs inked rang INZ for an update kids were only (obviously) waiting or mine to be granted, hers is with the medical assessor, which we knew would happen with our BMI, i'm assuming mine also landed on their desk but worked out to be A-OK. Does anyone have any experience of time gap between primary applicant and family visas?

Well done and congrats.

I would hope that your OH's visa will not be far behind it.

I would also be interested to know the gaps in the visa being approved between the primary applicant and family?

Inked, did you all apply together? We were advised to apply in paper form and send all our applications and supporting documents in the one envelope, we have our medicals next Thursday I can't foresee any issues then they will be sent on the Thursday afternoon. INZ told us to expect about a 25 working day turn around, my husbands employer wants him to be in NZ by 30th October.

That's quick! Hope it's the same for us..... Fingers crossed your families visas won't be long behind.

I'm hoping with everything I have they are right and turn them around within the 25days...... can't wait to get flights booked and confirm with the removal company etc.
