How long before you get your passports back?
 

So we have been granted PR and they told us to send our passports in, which we did on the 13th August and we are still waiting.

So how long did it take for other people??

If it's any help this is our timeline - it is recent.

We submitted our passports with our ITA on 8th July, got our AIP letter on 16th July, got our passports back with stamps in on 16th August.

It is nail biting, but shouldn't be much longer for you.

Hi

We submitted our passports with the ITA on 30/07/08 and were Approved in Principle on 08/08/08 - we received the passports back with the visas attached on 21/08/08 - Skilled Migrant Category with job offer.

Hope you are not kept waiting too much longer.

Moomoo :)

sorry, bit of a thread hijack - lots of posters in this thread have got details about time from ITA submitted to AIP to Blue STickers, but just wondering if you've got job offers or are already working in nz??

we're due to get ITA in 2-3 weeks with no jobs and just wondering how long it might be from submitting to AIP to the lovely blue stickers! (keeping fingers crossed, obviously!!)

thanks!

with me it took a very short time, have a look at my timeline, and our passports took 3 weeks from sending them in to getting them back.

Good luck

I posted our passports on a Wednesday afternoon and had them back in my hands by first post Friday - less than 48 hours.
