the week before thanksgiving i could tell that something was up at work, so the day before i confronted the ceo who offered “you should be looking”. happy holidays – enjoy your turkey. today they let the entire client dev…
the official invitation to apply (ita) arrived today in a thick package from london. it came registered so i had to go to the post office to sign for it. i’ll admit it was very exciting. i was dreading filling…
saturday morning went on a road trip with the jboss to one of the few notary public’s who has weekend hours so we could get certified copies of our passpost and diplomas. this lets us check off 5 items on…
after a chest xray that is.
woohoo! i checked the nzis site for the bazillionth time this morning and whadya know – our eoi was officially approved (“decision successful”) and we can now expect and ita (invitation to apply) in a few days. amazing timing since…
the 25th (the latest in a series of missed targets) has come and gone and no word from nzis. it will be 3 months in 1 week. if we don’t hear anything i’ll give nzis a call – although i…
so i have officially started the 2 week countdown. high cranky potential if we don’t hear by the 25th.

ah – my childhood innocence. after 2 weeks i was sure it would just be another week before we heard. well – we’ve now crossed the 2 month point and no word. i mentioned before that there is a great…
as part of our application we need to submit evidence of our clean criminal record. for us applicants that means our fbi “rap sheet.” to get your record you send in $18 and your fingerprints. the fbi site says we…
nothing yet from nzis. 17 days not that i’m keeping track. i’m guessing we will hear something next week. 3 weeks seems to be about average.
as i mentioned the nzis site is very good and all of the forms are available for download as pdf’s. so i thought i would be optimistic and get a jump on the application process and print out the main…
i’ve checked my email several times for the ita, but there’s nothing. maybe the email server is down? it has been over 24 hours since the eoi was selected and we haven’t heard anything. sure, i know it can take…
woo hoo! seems we look good in the eyes of a number crunching kiwi computer. now we wait for a full review of our eoi by nzis and an invitation to apply. this should be easy since i’m so good…
