Why there is delay processing citizenship applications

Kay made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Kay to read recent responses and update the status.

From: Kay

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
I am writing this to ask about the delays processing applications for citizenship by grant.

I’ve known many people who applied & approved within 3 weeks of time but some other are still waiting to be allocated to a case officer.

This is completely unfair & should be raised with Ombudsman.

Yours faithfully,

Kay
