Help.... how long should an ITA take???
Hi all
Our EOI was selected on the 8th June this year, and so far, no news on the ITA .... how long are people finding they take from EOI selection to ITA yay or nay? The Immo website states 2-4 weeks, is that overly optimistic, or are we just going through that horrid waiting game?? We applied online so guess we should hear online too! Any info would be massively appreciated as we so want to get going and absolutely all is on hold until we at least get past the next hurdle.
Big thanks
Suki and Si Bishop
PS anyone applying from Cornwall to NZ??

On the whole, I think most of us lately have heard within about 4 weeks...

Yeah, we check practically hourly ... just wasn't sure what comes first, the letter or the info online? Snail mail only gets delivered once a day, anytime from sunrise to mid-afternoon tea, so we're just keeping fingers crossed!

We also got selected on the 8th June, applied online and as Pinkie Pie says on the Immigration website changed from selected to successful on the 7th July, ITA arrived on the 11th last monday.
What part of Cornwall are you in?
We're just on the other side of the bridge.

I reckon you'll hear any day now....but don't worry if it doesn't change on screen - I'm sure one of us, Biddy, i think it was, was saying that even after his visas had been approved his status was still only saying EOI selected!!!

We were selected on 8th June, and have a job to start asap.
Just heard on Friday that they want some info regarding OH's job offer. He'll have to go on a work visa and we'll have to follow on when the house is sold.
Beginning to panic a little now........

Hi again all
Loadsa thanks for the replies.... Jan - I did call this afternoon, speaking quickly to avoid those horrendous charges, and was told only that it's now taking 4-6 weeks to process the ITAs. Can't think of any probs in our application but, hey, you never know.... possibly doesn't help that all our parents have remarried so getting all the d.o.b.'s right was a nightmare! Planty - we're in St Agnes, just south of Perranporth..... and hoping to head to Auckland first off. Did you apply under the Skilled Migrant Category? Really pleased you were successful, just hate this will we/won't we be invited bit, maybe they work their way down the country and Cornwall is last on the list!!!!

We're gonna be down your way in a few weeks time, we're coming down to Hayle for a week, maybe we could have a get together and chat about this NZ stuff.
It does seem to drag on a bit, have you got a job offer? I think they jump the queue if you have one, wife hasn't but is on shortage list.
