Thank you for your correspondence of 11 October 2023 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment (MBIE) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:
I am writing to kindly request copies of the most recent assessment templates and training materials for
Immigration Officers to follow when assessing the current Onshore and Offshore Student Visa applications
I am writing to advise you that MBIE has decided to extend the period of time available to answer your
request under section 15A(1)(a) of the Act, as your request is for a large quantity of information and a
proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
We will now respond to your request on or before 23 November 2023, which is an extension of 10
working days.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, or if you require any further assistance,
please contact [email address]
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of our decision to extend the
time limit. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
