Hi Helen (and Kev)
You guys must be so excited about the ITA. You'll need to keep us updated of your progress. Always good to hear what happens with all the different visas.
I dont know if this link on the immi site will help you at all as I'm not too clued up on the ITA process but it's worth a look. Gives you info on timescales etc:

I know for the WHV visa we're getting we've been told to expect a turnaround time of 2 weeks for a decision and then we have 12 months to activate it or enter NZ. After that it becomes void. I presume this will be a similar timescale for all visas for the activation part?
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Sorry I cant be of more help. Lots of peeps on the forum have gone or are going through the same process so I'm sure someone else will be able to give you some more information.
Good luck! :icon_biggrin:
