I continue to wait on NZQA full assessment. I have not seen anything on line for checking status on this, and so I tried phoning them up - after a while on hold waiting in queue I hung up and emailed. I did get a response - they are running way behind their quoted 20 working day turnaround. I think I should have ponied up the $150 for expedited service.

Ouch ... If forget where you are in the overall process, but you needn't wait for NZQA's report to send in your visa application (if that's where you are).

My overall experience so far is that when any organization says 'X to Y weeks' (or months) they really mean Y. I've never had anything come back in less than the maxium time. I guess that's the price of the more laid back lifestyle I'm looking for!

Hang in there ... If I can do it, you can too! :D
