INZ Resolves Accreditation Renewal Issue for Employers

Kia ora everyone,

We've received an important update from Immigration New Zealand (INZ) regarding a recent issue with employer accreditation renewals. As your trusted immigration advisors at Surani Associates, we want to keep you informed about this resolution and what it means for affected employers.

The Issue and Its Resolution:

INZ has successfully addressed a problem where some employers who applied to renew their accreditation were not granted interim accreditation when they should have been. Here's what you need to know:

1. Interim Accreditation Granted: All eligible employers affected by this issue have now been granted interim accreditation.

2. Job Tokens Reinstated: Any valid Job Check job tokens that were affected have been reinstated.

3. Application Processing: INZ has continued to process affected employers' Job Check and Accredited Employer Work Visa applications throughout this period.

Next Steps for Affected Employers:

1. Notification: Employers will be notified when they receive interim accreditation.

2. Job Token Visibility: It may take up to 48 hours for reinstated job tokens to appear in Immigration Online accounts.

3. Assistance: If you need help with job tokens after the 48-hour period, INZ encourages you to contact them directly.

INZ's Apology: Immigration New Zealand has extended their apologies for the disruption caused by this issue and thanked employers for their patience during the resolution process.
