Once allocation is made, the case officer will be in touch with either a request for information/clarification or a decision on the application. Until the officer has completed the initial processing, we will be unable to give you any further information regarding your application.
Please note that INZ is under no obligation to seek comment from an applicant prior to making our decision. INZ is only obliged to seek comment from an advisor/applicant prior to making a final decision on an application when the decision is made on the basis of any potentially prejudicial information (PPI).
In practice, this will mean that an applicant will not generally be given the opportunity for written or formal comment on a potentially adverse decision that does not involve PPI, and immigration officers may proceed to finalise the application based on the information on hand.
