Dear Ziyuan,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of the 5^th of May 2022 requesting under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“I am a New Zealand Citizen.

Given the rapidly approaching starting date of the employer accreditation
applications, I am writing to kindly request the most recent copies(and
notes) of any official consultation/discussion Immigration New Zealand has
had with the Government in relation to future Work and Resident Visa
pathways for those Work Visa holders who are earning below the median
wage. It appears that there aren't any viable visa pathways for them based
on the current accreditation policies.

Appreciate your assistance in this regard and I look forward to hearing
from you soon.”

 

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].

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act. I am
reaching out to clarify the scope of your request please. Our
interpretation is that you are asking for 'written advice presented to the
Minister of Immigration in the last 3 months about work and residence visa
options for people earning below the median wage'. Can you please confirm
if this is an appropriate interpretation? Or if not can you please let us
know what other information you are requesting.

 

Thank you for your assistance. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you
have any questions.

 

Kind regards,

Sam Foster
