Hello,

There are 50-50 chances to get your visa approved within a month. But you can change the date of registration at University of Auckland by emailing them that your visa is getting delayed and you need extension. UoA take cares of international students pretty much. If you are on scholarship the visa processing will be bit easier.
But according to your timeline the visa processing is fast.

Hi,
Thanks for the relevant information.
However, I have got some extension on my start date.
The recent update is that my application has been assigned to a case officer on 30/10/2017 and I am still waiting for a decision.
Hope to receive a response from the CO sooner.
Fingers crossed!

Hi,
Thanks for the information.
Please do share on this portal when your Visa gets approved.
 
Hello all

I have also applied for student visa for New Zealand. I also have fully funded scholarship. My case has been under NSC since 15 Sep, 2017. I have not got any update on it till now. Whenever i ask my visa officer about it, he tells me that it is still under process without telling me how much more time it will take.

I think for Pakistani applicant, NSC is a very lengthy process. Waiting for an outcome soon.

Fingers crossed
 
Hi

It has been 5 months since i have applied for the student visa and still waiting. I am getting regular emails from CO that NSC is still under process.

Is there anyone here whose visa has been granted in near past?

Hi,
I received the PhD in NZ visa in 3 moths 15 days time. I logged the application on 22nd September 2015 and got the visa approved on 7th January 2016. I had constantly emailed them asking who my case officer was. But before getting the name i got the visa approved.
I guess one reason why I got it quick was because I applied for it while I was in New Zealand in an open work visa. Anyways I felt I would let you guys know this.. you know might get lucky sometime.
