New Zealand publishes parent-residence queue selection estimates

Immigration New Zealand confirmed on 30 October that Parent Resident Visa EOI holders had received queue-entry and estimated-selection information, with estimates also published online. This adds queue guidance following the launch of hybrid selection.^[1]

Estimates can change and will be updated after quarterly selections. An EOI may be drawn earlier through the ballot. Once selected and formally invited to apply, applicants have 4 months to lodge their residence application; an estimated date is not an invitation or visa approval.^[1]
