Letter of acceptance

ロンドンのＮＺ移民局から、最終書類を受け取った旨の連絡が手紙で届いた。これで出すものは全て出し、application statusは「lodged」ということになる。

ジョブ・オファーがないので、おそらく面接に呼ばれるだろう（2009年4月23日訂正：どうやらイギリスでの面接は電話で行われるらしい）。

まだケース・オフィサー（担当官）も決まっていないので、気長に順番待ち・・・。早く動くといいな。

We received a letter from Immigration NZ in London, that by receiving our last missing papers (the AFP certificates) our application for a residence visa was finally accepted for consideration.

Our application will be queuing to be allocated to a visa officer for assessment (till then our application is managed by a "queue manager" :).

Hopefully we will be allocated to a visa officer within the next 4 months, and he/she will make a final decision in 1 - 3 months following the allocation.

We would most probably be asked to come for an interview. Until then, I will have to gather up the evidences that we are trying to make contacts in NZ and sending applications to companies/organisations in NZ.
