Thank you for your email of 5 March 2024 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:
May I please request a copy of the current and/or most recent parameters list of applicant
situations/circumstances that wil not be considered by the Minister of Immigration for a ministerial
direction.
This letter is to advise you that your request has been transferred to the Associate Minister of Immigration,
Hon Chris Penk. We apologise for the delay in advising you of this transfer.
This is because your request is more closely aligned with the functions of the Associate Minister of
Immigration. Section 14(b)(ii) of the Act allows me to transfer any request that is believed to be more
closely aligned with the functions of another department, organisation or Minister of the Crown.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802
602.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, please contact
[email address].
Nāku noa, nā
