To those guys waiting for their documents,

From my experience, it takes only a month transit time for a parcel to be sent from the NZIS office to a filipino applicant. That is depending on your local post office. Some post offices even call thru fone the recipient of the parcel to inform them while others just don't give a damn.

I strongly advice that you regularly check your post office if you are waiting for such documents. If it exceeds one month from the date of notice in your email, say your ITA. Who knows, your parcel may be already be gathering dust in the post office.

Hope this helps.

God Bless!

Thanks for the reply.

Actually, my documents (EOI Form returned because of missing info) were sent from NZIS last Dec. 13, so said the letter they sent to my consultant. Jan. 13 came and went and still no parcel. As per the EOI Team's advice, one of my options in case of failure of arrival is to re-do the whole thing again but put the EOI number so they don't have to re-check.

But I'll take your advice. Actually, my consultant said to bug the post office. Will pass the job to him.

Well, my consultant did bug the post office (Main, Plaza Lawton). The nice surprise is, the post office people have an electronic database already that monitors packages, and yes, these new people are polite and willng to answer.

The not so good news is, my docs which were supposedly mailed from NZ last Dec 13 aren't yet in the Philippines. The post office people said it hasn't arrived yet. And that it takes an average of 1-2 month for NZ docs to arrive.

Anybody else encountered this?

Hi trekker,
