Dear Grant,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of the 3^rd of May 2022 requesting under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“Can you please provide:

1. What is the number of Expressions of Interest (EOI) that are currently
in Skilled Migrant Category (SMC) pool?

2. Of those EOIs, how many are there, in which the primary applicant on
the EOI is represented in a One-Off 2021 Resident Visa (RV21), either as
the primary applicant of the RV21 application or as the secondary
applicant/partner?

3. Of the remaining number of applications in the SMC EOI pool who are not
represented in a RV21 application (i.e. answer to question 1 less the
answer to question 2), how many applications are there in which the
primary applicant was present in New Zealand on September 29, 2021 on visa
that qualifies for the RV21 (INZ Operational Manual section S6.10.1) and
who also met the "Settled" criteria (described in INZ Operational Manual
section S6.15.1) of the RV21?

4. Of the remaining number of SMC EOI pool who are not represented in a
RV21 application and do not meet the settled criteria for RV21 (i.e. the
answer to question 1 minus the answer to questions 2 and 3), how many of
them were present in New Zealand on September 29, 2021 on a visa that
qualifies for the RV21? For this last group, can you please break the
numbers down by the visa type they held on that day?

Thank you for your help in finding these numbers.”

 

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

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request, or its urgency, feel
free to contact us via email at [1][MBIE request email].

I’m writing in regards to your OIA request

 

2. Of those EOIs, how many are there, in which the primary applicant on
the EOI is represented in a One-Off 2021 Resident Visa (RV21), either as
the primary applicant of the RV21 application or as the secondary
applicant/partner?

Our interpretation of your question is ‘ of those EOIs, how many principal
applicants have applied for a RV 2021 or have been included in a RV21
application?’

 

Could you please confirm if our interpretation is correct?

 

Kind regards
