Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Michael Wood, thank you for your email.

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not possible to provide
a personal response to every email received.

Where the Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that you
have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.  If your email falls outside of these responsibilities, it
may transferred to another office for consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

(Please note that this acknowledgement is an automatically generated
email.)

If you haven't yet booked your free COVID-19 vaccine, we encourage you to
do so. You can book online at [1]bookmyvaccine.nz or by calling 0800 28 29
26.

You can get vaccinated without a booking or appointment at a number of
sites across Auckland. You can find a list online [2]here.  

If you already have a booking but it’s not for a few weeks, you can move
this forward – there are thousands of appointments still available this
week. You can do this online at [3]bookmyvaccine.nz.

 

Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself and your whânau.
Getting as many Aucklanders vaccinated as soon as possible is the key to
preventing lockdowns and getting the city back to work.

 

 

Regards

Office of Hon Michael Wood

Minister of Transport | Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety |
Deputy Leader of the House

Dear Aulia

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request, received on 14 September 2022, in which you requested the following information:

• I would like to request information regarding what the rationality that Immigration NZ uses to determine who they would like to assess for One-Off Resident Visa 2021 and who they want to still wait for the queue?
Previously, Immigration NZ announced that they would prioritise applicants who applied during first month of opening of phase 2. However, it seems now that they don't. Several applicants who don't apply during the first month reportedly already got their decision. Meanwhile many first-month applicants are still waiting to get assessed.
Thank you for your response.

Your request will be answered within the provisions of the Official Information Act.
