EOI selections from 27th April 2005
I posted this query on the Oz/NZ immigration page but there doesn't seem to be anyone on there going to NZ - all off to Oz! .....so I hope you'll forgive me for posting it again on the Lifestyle forum as there is more chance of me actually finding someone who's in the process of emigrating to NZ on here!!

Caroline, I wouldn't panic yet. We got selected from the pool on the 13th and we didn't get a 'decision successful' until the April 29th. I think it takes 2-3 weeks so you could get it anytime. A big ITA package will arrive on your doorstep a week later. Good luck. Mark |

Makes you wonder ....... just how much of the info on your EOI are they actually verifying at that stage???? Have seen it stated on the gov't site that after selection they will "verify some of the EOI info" but haven't ever seen it listed anywhere more detailed than that....hmmmmm. :confused: Dave |

Caroline The processing is done in London don't forget, so the May bank holidays would have come into play. Not sure what they check to be honest. Maybe they just check for any obvious gibberish andf then leave it up to us to prove it at the ITA stage? Anyway, fingers crossed you will hear next week. Today, I have been mostly photocopying documents (at work!). Mark |

Naughty, Naughty using the works copier...actually, I spent about an hour at home yesterday copying mine so how are you managing to hog the one at work without getting busted!! Caroline |

Caroline I don't think they care too much here. I've taken voluntary redundancy (leaving end of June) and they know my plans, so ... It's a great feeling when you get the ITA through the door. I keep having to remind myself that it's not done and dusted and there is still work to do. The initial feeling was that PR was ours and we were on our way, but not so simple me thinks! |

Looks like it's reflected in processing times too! If you're like me, you'll spend every spare second waiting for 'EOI Selected' to change into 'Decision Successful'. It's great when it does though!

Mark I've been checking at night though thinking that it wouldn't change during the day coz they're all asleep!!! Will now change my checking schedule to during 9am - 5pm hours (UK time!).....think I might actually self-combust when/if it does change!!! Caroline |
