Hello,

I have applied for student visa new Zealand on 24th dec 2018, and I didn't got any interview call till now, what are the time frames and how much time will it take to get interview call from them??

stumpy

There is no set time frame. It depends on how long it takes to check and verify the documentation you supplied when applying.

Hi Saikiran, did you get any update ? My student visa lodged on 31 December 2018, still didn't get any update from INZ.

Saikiran96

Hey joy!!! I didn't got any response from INZ, my friend got interview call yesterday, he applied on 1st dec 2018. I think it may take time due to high number of applications. Between which college and course did you applied for and what's the course start date??

I need to give one month notice to my employer.

Saikiran96

Hello ladies, everyone is facing the same issue, this delay is due to high number of applications and we have no choice but to wait until we a call. It's taking minimum 50 working days

NatalieDeSilva

JoRoAn03

Hi, I hope you will get the cal before us, since your studies starts before our’s.
All the best. If any update pls share here.
