we're now in Oz, applying for a PR visa,we lived in NZ about 3 years ago and we need to get a PCC from the NZ police.
How long does this take?

Hiya,

This is what they say on the NZ Police website about requesting a police clearance:

http://www.courts.govt.nz/privacy/

How long will it take to process my application?

Under the Privacy Act, the Ministry of Justice has a maximum of twenty working days to process applications. If there is going to be a delay for longer than twenty days, we will write and advise you of the reasons for the delay.

Normally the Ministry of Justice will process your application within approximately 2 weeks of receipt. There may be delays from time to time because of the volume of applications received from the public. You should not leave applying for your information until the last moment. The post or other circumstances could mean unforeseen delays

Hope this helps,

Jen

sister and co have rented a cottage in morningside ( i think) and hubbie (mine and hers and her 2 boys) are going to ashes cricket

you lucky cow, you're going to the ashes, howzat -OUT, i loved watching it last summer, even the kids were yelling it out

kwprwn

I'm not going but hubbie he is, although I can tolerate cricket, it is not a great love of mine..we had no probs getting the tickets, my brother in law (uk ) was supposed to get them as he is a member of lords, but they were being awkward and kept holding back on the tickets

poppets

bugge, i always thought it was boring but i REALLY got into it last summer, maybe i'm getting old

kwprwn

hubby used to play for a club in the uk, and the social side is the best

poppets

hey & at least they play decent times & summer months , no hideous early sunday mornings freezing your nipple ends off
