nothing yet from nzis. 17 days not that i’m keeping track.
i’m guessing we will hear something next week. 3 weeks seems to be about average.

as i mentioned the nzis site is very good and all of the forms are available for download as pdf’s. so i thought i would be optimistic and get a jump on the application process and print out the main application forms and the medicals. well, as expected they are formated for A4 paper and so if you print them out with US Letter size (8.5 x 11) the bottom of each page gets cut off. that could speed up the application filling out effort a bit, but i’m guessing nzis won’t see it that way.
so – i trundle off to staples and ask for a reem (huh huh – huh huh – he said reem) of A4. i approach two of staples finest and ask “can you point me to the A4 paper?” as you can now expect there was a more than awkward pause before i got “whut?” i try again knowing i’m just barking up a thank-you-ronnie-for-killing-the-metric-system tree – “A4 – you know – letter sized paper used by everyone on the metric system.” “whut? – oh, that’s 8×10, right?”
found it on staples.com. no surprise quite a bit more expensive that US Letter but a blip in the total cost of the process.
i’ve checked my email several times for the ita, but there’s nothing. maybe the email server is down? it has been over 24 hours since the eoi was selected and we haven’t heard anything. sure, i know it can take up to 3 months for an ita after selection, but i was kinda hoping ours would come through a bit quicker.
wait a sec – lemme check again… nope, still nothing.
woo hoo!
seems we look good in the eyes of a number crunching kiwi computer.
now we wait for a full review of our eoi by nzis and an invitation to apply.
this should be easy since i’m so good at waiting…
