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
From: OIA
