How long?

I did hand our ITA into NZ House in person. All the advisor did was check that all the documents were present, i.e tied in with the checklist. I pointed out a few things regarding the documents but she didn't make a note of them. I received a receipt for the documents and that was that.
I read somewhere on the forums that somebody had their interview at the same time but I think that she was extremely lucky, I've not seen anyone mention that happening to them since. I wouldn't hold up much hope of this happening even if you did turn up on a quiet day.
I emailed our case officer last week to make sure she'd received our passports and some last minute documents she wanted. She replied saying the passports were there but she hadn't looked at them, that was 2 weeks after she'd received them. You can't guarantee that just because you are on the ball that they will be any quicker when dealing with you.
It's all just a waiting game and depending on how soon you want to go, it can be a very stressful wait.
Get your ITA in asap making sure you've provided everything they may need then they've no excuse for it taking any longer than necessary.
Good luck
