Approval In Principle

This morning I received a phone call on my mobile. I recognised the number and it was, indeed, my Migration consultant calling to tell me that he has received “Approval In Principle” for my Residence application.

I went along to their offices at lunchtime to give them my passport and complete a form for the final payment of the migration levy. This all gets sent off to Auckland and, so I’m told, should be processed in about two weeks’ time.

It’s all taken a bit longer than we’d been led to believe, but soon I shall be officially resident in New Zealand – woohoo!
