PR visa
Hi
After 8 long weeks to get our work to residency visa's, due to an issue with our medicals and told that our PR visa's would take from 4weeks -3 months...........we have been notified that they have now been granted after only 1 Week Yipeeeeeeee.
The only difficulty we have now, is that we fly out on Saturday and have no time to get the ruddy things put into our passports. So not quite sure what to do now.

Re: PR visa
Unfortunately not, as we are car less at the moment and they would want us to make an appointment which may not be this week.
Still at least we know we have got them.

Re: PR visa
Congratulations on getting your PR, great news
Have you spoken to your case officer about whether they can get them put in straight away? I took my passport in to NZ House to get the visas put in and was told that they only did them the same day in emergencies [thought I'd ask since I was in London for 2 days!] so there may be a chance
If not you can get them when you're in NZ. I asked about it last year as there was a possibility that I would have had to do that. Only thing is the return flight if entering NZ without a visa as newkiwi said but I presume that's ok if you have a WTR visa as well?
Good luck
