Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to resume process Expressions of Interests for Skilled Migrant Category for the people who are currently in New Zealand.

Petition reason

I believe the people who have already applied for residency in the Skilled Migrant Category and remaining in lockdown in the pool with no information, deserve at least some feedback. Everyone has made efforts to meet the criteria and their lives now are still on hold whilst the residency process is still running in other programs. That situation could cause those who already struggle with their visa's expiration causing several problems such as depression and anxiety within families.
