38883 (2024). Hon Phil Twyford to the Associate Minister of Immigration: How many people who applied to sponsor family members under Tier One of the Refugee Family Support Category in 2023 have not been told whether their application has been accepted for consideration, and when can they expect to hear?

Hon Casey Costello: Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has received 284 registrations for sponsorship under Tier 1 of the Refugee Family Support Category during the 2023/24 financial year, up to 25 June 2024. I am advised that INZ has a process whereby sponsors are contacted by Immigration New Zealand to confirm that their registration has been received into the system.
