Its easy to see what will happen there. If they get a sudden surge of applications, they will up the points criteria to let the applications time-out of the pool.

Funny thing I was just reading though... Apparently the majority of NZIS staff are still occupied processing the old General Skills applications! They have something along the lines of a 40,000 backlog of these applications which need to be processed in some form or another. I cant imagine they would have to do any more than say 'Sorry, but we screwed you by changing the system', but thats the way it goes.

What an odd way to do business!
