Ref: 2021-1030

Dear Jan,

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 19 November 2020 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

“I would like to request the number of applications that were lodged and
are still unallocated in the non-priority skilled residency queue for each
day between the day on which the oldest unallocated application was lodged
(as per on the day you respond to this request) to the day on which you
respond to this request.

 

If, for example, you respond to this request on 1 December 2020, and on
that day, the oldest unallocated non-priority onshore skilled residency
application was submitted on 1 June 2019, I would like to know how many
applications were lodged and are still unallocated in the non-priority
queue for

 

1 June 2019

2 June 2019

3 June 2019

…

30 November 2020

1 December 2020

 

I am ordinarily resident in New Zealand and currently in New Zealand.

 

I am aware of the NZRP and do not require the usual information about the
NZRP, the priority queue, or the Operational Manual.”

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

Please note, due to ongoing COVID-19 response work, requests are currently
being triaged and those relating to Covid-19 processed as a priority.
Remaining requests are being assessed as per the Ombudsman’s guidance
(which can be found here:
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/news/chief-ombudsmans-statement-official-information-response-times-during-covid-19-emergency)
and processed accordingly.

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [2][MBIE request email].

Nâku noa, nâ
