Re: And now we wait
The fee has been taken ($3085nz) can I safely assume that the application is now lodged?

No! they take your money as soon as they receive your application. well they did ours anyway! although we submitted ours and had visas in hand 5 weeks later.. so hope your wait isnt too long and you don't go mad checking your update every 5 mins xx

I make no promises lol, got emailed last night as I hadn't authorised the new fee (had the old one on my checklist) emailed the lass back to check if it's lodged

Sorry - what kind of application did you put across - 5 weeks isnt so bad is it? I'm looking at residency apps and it states upto 6 months

Timelines will vary, my mother in law had her residency in 6 weeks (that was 2004) I've seen people's timelines where it was anywhere from a month after lodgement to 9 months

Do you think the variation in timelines is predictably seasonal, just out of the interest?
