Kia ora Adrian,

 

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request sent to us
on 7 April 2022 requesting the following:

 

 “Please can you provide, by INZ processing branch, the number of 2021
Resident Visa Applications that are awaiting quality check/2nd person
check by Technical Advisors?  Could you also provide the date of the
oldest application in each queue and the average time taken to process
applications in the queue.”

 

In order for us to respond accordingly to your request, could you please
clarify; where you request “the average time taken to process applications
in the queue”, What queue are you referring to? Are you requesting the
amount of time taken to process applications in the quality check queue?

 

Please respond to this clarification request by 18 April 2022.

 

Nga Mihi,
