Same happened with me, a confirmation email that time and then error followed few hours later. I checked my application status



This page provides details about your applications...

For Permits, the expiry date is the date on which the period of authorised stay in New Zealand ends. For Visas the expiry date is the last date on which the visa may be used to travel to New Zealand.




Do the same status on your online application information page?

First three times I tried to pay through my debit card and the payment was not through then 4th time I tried using a credit card it accepted.

I just need to confirm if this is common with ALL of us who received the error email from INZ

- An unsuccessful payment attempt (mine were three and i received the email once only)
- The application status (As above)
- No payment reversal with the bank yet.

What you've mentioned are common for all applicants who received this "error" message later on after confirmation message. My status shows same as yours in INZ website. but we need to know whether the status in the website is same for guys who had received only confirmation message without "error" message. Anyone who had only confirmation message please help us...

As for rejecting the application once it has been submitted must be accompanied by a valid reason and as long as you comply with all the outlined requirements there is nothing they could do reject an application.
Silver fern Jobs search Visa is only for areas with absolute skill shortage. If there are unemployment in those area then they would've withdraw this scheme. why should they accept applications. My guess is that it's the faulty system. Wait till monday guys and keep Everyone one of us will get through!

There are many numbers to confused about. There are different client numbers... Then the Application number for online application... There is also pending application number... Receipt number... I'm confused too

Many people here stated that the scheme is full in 2 min. In my case I got the message to pay within 15 seconds but once when I clicked the payment it took nearly 5 or 6 min and accepted my payment and got the receipt around 3.41 am
my time (NZ time 10.11 AM). I hope all the people who got their "error" message later on will get through on Monday. All the best Guys!

We can only wait to see what happens on Monday. I have emailed in a complaint asking whats going on to the deputy chief executive which it says to do in the complaints procedure. (found under the 'contact us' option on the online application, then top left corner 'complaints')

I plan to wait and see what comes of it next week and then perhaps contacting these people are an option for them to investigate officially:

We will see!

Where does your time come from ?

Only the time displayed on your receipt is correct and exact.
