We did it

We have taken the first step to residency in New Zealand - we submitted our "Expression of Interest" last night. While it's a big step in some ways, it could all fizzle quickly. Our EOI was put into the "Pool", as we had more than 100 points (which is the minimum to be able to submit anyway). The NZ Immigration Authority selects from this pool every two weeks. The next selection date is Wednesday, December 21st. If we are not selected then, our EOI will stay in the Pool for 3 months. If it is never selected, we can resubmit at that time.

If we are selected from the Pool, the NZIS will look over our application and verify some of the claims we have made (work experience etc). Hopefully, within two to four weeks, NZIS will ask us to apply for residency. However, they may decide not to extend an invitation based on their initial take of our application.

So, it's all up in the air, really. And so we wait...

And if someone were to send a letter filled with incriminating items that would prevent you from leaving, what address would it go to?
