Why does it so long to get a New Zealand visitor visa?
I prefer not to answer anonymous questions. However, this means immigration is checking some facts with the documents you have submitted. There i something they need to investigate and that is the reason for the delay. Buying an air ticket does not automatically qualify you to enter the country. If they say it will take two months it will take two months or longer. Best not to depend on these timelines as they are checking something in your application. Your friend has submitted and ha all the paperwork approved. Even after you arrive here the Immigration department will continue with their investigations and if anything is found to be irregular they will still ask you to leave within a few days. Their investigations can go as far as seven years! I hope you have followed the answers correctly. I dont know where you re from but just for a note many thousands of Indian students, applying through agents were asked to leave last year. Good luck.
