After eoi new zealand selection when will i receive invitation
Congratulations on being selected for the Expressions of Interest (EOI) for New Zealand residency!
After being selected, you'll typically receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) from Immigration New Zealand. The time it takes to receive an ITA can vary depending on several factors, including:
- EOI round: The EOI round you were selected in. New Zealand Immigration releases a certain number of ITAs in each EOI round, and the timing of these rounds can vary.
- Priority processing: If you were selected in a priority EOI round, you may receive an ITA sooner than those selected in a standard EOI round.
- Complexity of your application: If your application requires additional documentation or processing, it may take longer to receive an ITA.
- Immigration New Zealand's workload: The department's workload and processing times can affect the speed at which they issue ITAs.
On average, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to receive an ITA after being selected in an EOI round. Here are some general guidelines:
- Standard EOI round: 2-6 months
- Priority EOI round: 1-3 months
- Express EOI round: 1-2 weeks
Once you receive an ITA, you'll have a limited time (usually 60 days) to submit your residence application to Immigration New Zealand. Make sure to carefully review the ITA and submit your application within the given timeframe.
Keep in mind that Immigration New Zealand may contact you to request additional information or documentation before issuing an ITA. Be prepared to provide any required information to support your application.
Best of luck with your application, and I hope you receive your ITA soon!
