Can anyone provide any information re the selection of the above inasmuch as:
I know they are strictly in date order but are they also sub divides into, say, sponsored application, guaranteed income applications and so forth? Or are just X amount pulled out of the file in date order?
I just wondered if a certain number of the sub divides of each type of application are pulled out.

Anyone got any knowledge please.

Thanks

We applied Feb with sponsorship from our daughter n kiwi partner and got ITA mid September having been drawn from the pool in the August draw, next draw 16/11, look on this page EOI Draw after that date and it tells you which submitted date all EOI were accepted. It took about 3 weeks for the ITA to arrive for us after the August draw. Submitted our ITA on 6/10 and now waiting for immigration officer - they say up to 3 months then up to another 3 months for decision. It's seems forever but hopefully you may be selected this draw? Hope it makes sense!

Hi Esme,

When did you know your application had been pulled from ballot? Did you not know until you received ITA?

Can you keep me posted on the progress of your application please.

I did send you a private email a few weeks ago asking a few questions appertaining to your application but guess you did not receive it!

We are similar to yourselves and would be great to have someone else in this parent category.

Thanks
Elaine

Draw was 17th August 2015 and our ITA letter we received was dated 9th September that I'm sure came from NZ so received a week later. We then got everything together and our ITAapplication was submitted to London and accepted for processing on the 6th October, 1-4 months to allocate Immigration Officer then 10-12 weeks for a final decision.
