Re: How Long??
hi
As you can see from my signature mine took 7 months in total. I didn't even get allocated a case officer for 6 months, but once I did it moved pretty quickly. I belive that this is pretty typical.
If its any re-assurance, my CO told me that its very rare for an application under the partnership stream to be rejected once they are satisfied that the relationship is genuine.
Hope this helps

Re: How Long??
I guess so.
I got a letter from my CO asking for some more info. Once I had supplied that she phoned me, out of the blue, we had a very informal chat and that was that. I got a written confirmation of my PR a couple of weeks later.
Can I ask what your status is in NZ? Are you here on a visitors permit or are you working?
