    Default I am a NZ resident!

    Hey,

    I submitted my EOI end of January, submitted my ITA April 7th and I am officially a NZ resident since yesterday! I am so happy and wish everyone on this site good luck with their application process. I was very lucky to get it so fast.
    Good luck everyone.

    Well done! I bet that's a great feeling. You must have something INZ wants pretty badly.

    Noticed that you are in Napier

    I have a offer of a job there and hope to go in December

    What's it like?

    Did you find it easy to meet people?

    A lot of people, even though they also have applied under the SMC, have had to wait a long time to hear that they have residency. Yours seems to have gone through quite quickly, which is good.

    Congratulations Katja, I know just how excited you feel. I just wanted to add that from my own experience INZ in London rock and my case officer was wonderful and efficient. I couldn't have asked for a better service.
