Dear Dr Ana Popovska Stojanovska

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 11 May 2023 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“First I would most kindly request the CLARIFICATION:

 

1. Is 30 June 2023 the last day for the 2000 Parent Residence Category
visa approvals?

2. If not ,what date would be the D-day for the 2000 visa approvals?

3. Could this number be increased by 500 FROM THE QUEUED  POOL ,since the
first ballot selection will take place in August 2023?

 

Now ,the queries for the UPDATED NUMBERS after the 9 May 2023 draw of EOIs
:

 

4. What date of receiving the EOIs is the first one to begin with the next
draw in August 2023 ,is it the 12 June 2016 ,the 28 June 2016 ,or a
complitely different date?

  I specifically ask this because for the updated table on the
immigration.co.nz site we should wait almost three months.

5. Total Count of EOIs in the cueued pool after the 9 May draw and ,if
possible please , Count of persons included in ,since one EOI could
include two people.

received before 10 August 2019 ,and , if possible , Count of persons
included in.”
