Urgent help needed please

[kaztayli]

We have checked our status online and it's been updated to APPROVED. However there is no expiry date which we know means that our visas have not been issued yet

Does the approved mean that we will be getting our residency visas? or is it that just the application has been approved (which in our minds - once again means that we will be getting our visas)

We are terrified to start celebrating in case we are wrong - please could somebody enlighten us. I don't think our nerves can take much more

This is what the website reads

Immigration Applications
Below is a list of your pending and previous NZ Immigration applications:


Visa/Permit Type Decision Application Number Lodgement Date Expiry Date
Visa Residence APPROVED ****** 30 Mar 2010 -


Thank you

Welldone, you're one of the lucky ones!!! It means you got nothing more to worry about apart from getting yourself to NZ... enjoy.

Thanks all - we finally phoned our case worker as well who informed us that the celebrations could officially start 3 days ago.

As of today - we have our visas officially - with a date and all.

We are looking for ways to get over there as quickly as possible but it looks as though it's going to be a long drawn out slog to save the required money. Hey ho - anybody know of the winning lottery numbers?

Yippee...that's a great feeling

By the way...money. We came out here with no jobs pending, and only $4000 NZ. Have a house, a job, kids in school, a car...some things are worth the wait and the risk (although this is calculated to each individual). And we have only been here for 2 weeks!!!!
