Hi All

My partner and I are about to lodge out 309 application. She is from the UK, and I am Australian and we both currently live in NZ. Just wondering if anyone has a relatively recent experience applying through NZ, and what sort of time line they were working with?

Thanks so much in advance for your help

Cheers

If your partner is from the UK, there is a very good chance your application will be processed through the London office.

If so, great news as London has been pumping out some very quick processing times lately - *a lot within the 2-3 month mark*. As for NZ, I am not too sure. The global processing times are around 11-15 months.

*of course every case is different so without getting your hopes up take this with a grain of salt*

Hi,

We also just applied, my partner is Australian, I am from Finland originally. Hoping for a speedy application as I am an NZ PR through him and we have been living together for 5 years...

Wish this was still true! 4 months and counting for us but the processing times took that massive jump after the FY

Nope, haven't heard a thing. Our application has been at "Further Assessment" for about 4.5 months now. Stoked to see the processing times go down today though. Have you done medical and biometrics?
