>:( I will make this quick as i keep losing these messages. My immigration officer is a complete to*"er. My ITA was lodged on the 20th Feb. Couple more pieces of paperwork were sent a week later. After numerous emails and phone calls the obnoxious officer tells me he hasn't even looked at the last lot of paperwork which would complete my ITA. Won't be seen for another 10 days. He isn't jumping the queue for anyone, I didn't even ask him that. He knows my employer wants me to start work on the 16th April. Its not as if I have only just emailed or spoke to him. I email him virtually every week, since Novemeber. He knows all the problems I have encountered and he has been worse than useless in being any help. I would say he has been an obstruction and caused me problems. He won't look at the paperwork. All I was asking him for over 3 weeks was. will I be able to start work on April 16th. I said to him, 'your telling me I won't be starting work on the 16th then,' he said, 'you could,' how does he work that out. Could is no good.

What I would like to know is, would it be worth my while to ring immigration in New Zealand and put my case forward. I could lose my job, they have put it back 3 times and I had to beg for another chance.
