Applying for Residency and PR (NZ Based Only) 2019

[aneng]

OMG. I can't believe na nandito na ko sa thread na to. Haha.

EOI Selected July 24, 2019. ITA Received the next day. Now compiling na all requirements.

May kabatch ba kami dito na naselect din last July 24? Goodluck and God bless to us! =)

[annerkz]

Jude kamusta po ang application niyo? may update po kayo? we sent ours via post yesterday.

[allune]

aneng nice one! Good luck!

[Jude]

annerkz nareceived ko na yung documents last Monday. if you have submitted original docs yun yung mga ibabalik nila. In my case, July 10 ko sinubmit yung akin then it was delivered sa Penrose the following day. After 2 weeks July 25, nadeduct yung immigration fee sa credit card ko. July 25 nagemail sakin na meron docs ipapadala sakin pabalik. July 26, nagemail sakin confirming na nareceived na nila application ko. Wait ka lang mga 2 weeks after they received yung documents mo mag email sila sayo. Then ayun start na ng pag aantay ng matagal tagal para sa case officer.hehehe

[annerkz]

thanks sir Jude sa update and info kung ano and kelan mageexpect ng sagot nila. Nawa'y maikli lang po ang waiting game.

Hi,question po. Pag SMC or Talent Accredited Resident na po ba ako ibig po ba sabihin PR na ko? Sorry po for the newbie question.

Resident visa has travel conditions (RV will lapse if travel conditions expire outside NZ) but the permanent resident visa has no travel condition.

PRV still has to be applied for once you have satisfied the requirements to be granted one (commitment to NZ, stay period in NZ, tax residency status etc)

If you're talking about PR in terms of Visa:

For the Residency via WTR, pwede ka makakuha ng PR visa if you meet the ff conditions:

RW2.1 Eligibility for a permanent resident visa

A permanent resident visa may be granted to an applicant under Talent (Accredited Employers) work instructions who:
- meets all the requirements to be granted a residence class visa; and
- at the time of their application for a residence class visa, has employment in New Zealand with a minimum base salary of NZ$90,000.

If you're talking about PR where for example tinatanong ka ng banks kung Permanent Resident ka na pag nag-aapply ka ng credit card etc, then I say yes even though Resident Visa with travel conditions pa lang meron ako and wala naman sila angal.

Morning,
May mga na-approve from who applied since January?

[ajinnzed]

Hi!

We lodged our application and requirements last November 2018, nag follow up lang ng ibang requirements by December & January 2019 and we complied, pero up until now wala pa rin kami naririnig sa CO namin. Although in the last email, he mentioned na maximum date for the result to be given is by September 2019, which is this month na.
My husband(main applicant) already emailed na CO for a follow up, but still no reply.
Ok lang po bang mag send ulit ng email sa CO namin for follow up. Sobrang tagal na po hinintay namin, at talagang ganun po ba tlaga ngayon, sagad sa date of releasing the result. 😔

ajinnzed it’s not matagal these days, may kilala nga akong 10 days lang

They are prioritising some applications over most applications so that they can keep their processing stats down.

You’re a victim of a current gov’t that tries to lessen RV intake. NZ First nga posted a picture on their FB page celebrating na yung RVs issued are at a 20-year low.

Here’s some news links :

Maraming salamat allune.

pano po nyan, may possibility po ba na mag exceed sa maximum na date na binigay sa amin for the result?

[makol]

suggestion lang kabayan try mo tawagan ang INZ call center napaka helpful nila.
had a situation na wala rin ako balita about my application then after I called them tsaka ko lang nalaman ang next step.
dahil yung Immigration officer assign eh hindi man lang nag email then after I call them biglang nag email yung CO after a week

[ajinnzed]

maraming salamat makol 😊

pero kasi, 3x na nag email si hubby sa CO namin, first nung nag ka work ako and inupdate namin CO nun which was nung July, tapos since this September yung sinabi nyang maximum date, twice na kami ng send ng email this month. twice na rin kami tumawag sa immigration, sinabihan pa kami na possible daw mag exceed sa maximum date na sinabi sa amin. 😔
sobrang nanlulumo na kami, lilipat na kami sana ng house by next month and gusto na namin makapunta dito parents ko pero hindi kami makapush through sa mga plan namin kasi hanggang ngayon wala pa ring result sa application namin.
lalung nkakalumo ni hindi nag rereply sa amin yung CO namin.
pasensya na kayo ha.. di na kasi talaga namin alam dapat pang gawin 😔

[allune]

ajinnzed send a feedback and use the complaint form.

[ajinnzed]

maraming salamat allune 😌

sa tingin nyo po ba makakatulong sa amin mag send ng feedback? hindi ba kaya maapektuhan application namin kung icomplain namin yung CO namin? 😔

[allune]

ajinnzed If your complaint would affect your application then what does that say about the values of the country you’re moving to? Parang Pinas thinking yang maiipit ang application mo dahil lang nag complain ka.

There’s nothing in the opsmanual that could back a denial dahil lang sa dami ng email mo or sa dahil nagreklamo ka sa mabagal na serbisyo.

If they set a deadline for themselves and they did not deliver by that date then all good if they’re replying to your queries as to why. But then you’re not getting replies so that’s the basis of your complaint.

[divhon]

ajinnzed Hindi dapat nagbigay ng deqadline ung CO niyo sana estimated time frame lang with a big disclaim na its just a guide.

Yeah, it could have been better para sa feel good but there shouldn't be any issue sa paglipat niyo ng bahay and sa pagpunta ng parents niyo. You can always send an email to update them on your new mailing address. Sa parents application niyo nman instead na sponsorhip invite them na lang. Send a cover letter na you actually want to sponsor them but due to the longer than usual RV application niyo eh iinvinte niyo na lang sila. In short life will go on with you regardless how long matapos ung application niyo so relax lang and wag masyado mastress

[aneng]

+1 here sa sinabi ni divhon. No offense pero relak lang po Mukang di makakatulong kung manlulumo kayo lalo kung wala namang issue sa application niyo.. Maexpire na ba current visa niyo? Kami hindi pa rin RV, in process palang din pero hindi naman yun nakaapekto sa ibang plans namin.. Nakalipat naman din kami ng bahay at nandito rin parents ko ngayon nakapagvisit sila. Hindi ko sila nasponsor pero nagprovide ako letter sa INZ and na approved naman sila, 3 years and multiple entry pa, post grad work visa ang visa ko now. I know iba iba tayo ng situation but ayun nga inexample ko lang yung case namin na possible lumipat ng bahay at mapapunta dito parents kahit hindi pa RV =)

[ajinnzed]

maraming salamat po sa inyo. pasensya na po kayo at nadadala ko dito stress namin sa application.
😌🙏

actually lilipat na rin po kami tlaga house pag pasok ng October, sinabihan naman kami ng immigration to just let them know if naka lipat na kami bagong address.

and kaya gusto na rin po namin sana malaman yung result ng RV application namin kasi gusto na po umalis ng hubby ko(main applicant) sa work nya.
kung di kami maapprove, iniisip nalang po naming umuwi nalang for good sa pinas.

[divhon]

ajinnzed after lodgement ng ITA until sa result ng RV is one of the most brutal wait times talaga maexperience mo, in my case I checked my phone's email every hour for Mon-Sat for 4 months.

bakit nman gusto na niya umalis? Most likely field nman niya yang work niya now kaya kau naeligible sa SMC so dapat masaya siya.

Anu kaya reason bakit hindi kayo maaprove? Weak ba pinasa niyo application? Did you faked, withheld, or made a mistake somewhere?

[jaccra]

Still unsure here whether to apply for SMC RV or wait for WTR PR. I am currently on a Talent (Accredited Employer) Work Visa, working for the govt and have a salary higher than the 'high remuneration threshold'. My dilemma now is if I should wait another year or so for WTR and derecho PRV cos of the salary or apply soon for SMC especially now na I heard may 'fast track' queue for people working for govt and may high salary threshold (but still no assurance? and might take longer)

[sunny]

jaccra I think if you're targeting citizenship, it's better to apply for residency right away. Sayang din kasi yung years of stay mo dito under a work visa, di nila ka-count. Another thing to consider is what if they tightened their rules again for gaining Residency? Pros and Cons, di rin kagad ako nag-apply ng SMC nung naka-WTR ako, nasasayangan nga ako e, PR na sana ako ngayon haha pero ayun iba-iba naman tayo ng priorities

[mab]

Hello po. Has anyone changed their home address while their SMC application is still on process? I.inform lang ba yung immigration to change address and that's it?

[nissde]

@mab yes po need to call them.

[nissde]
