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

Dear SDO Official Correspondence,
I’m still waiting for your response for the following;
The Department is currently looking further into your concerns regarding potential discrepancies in the timeframes for processing citizenship applications. We will advise you of the outcome of this as soon as practicable.
Also, I rang your contact centre recently and they quoted department is taking 17 months to complete an application. I raised few points that some of my friends received their citizenship within 3 weeks & one of them got approval with 5 days. I KNOW EVERY APPLICATION IS DIFFERENT but there shouldn’t be longer wait times for the others. I don’t why the department is being so unfair with the others.
Also, she mentioned your friends must have been lucky coz they got their approval so fast. That is so unrealistic answer?
When I responded that you’re saying that we must’ve been the unlucky ones & surprisingly she responded with YES. She was so confident in saying that oh! You gonna get a case officer assigned to a case officer by August.
Alright! Please tell me if you are marking applications to be allocated to case officer? Like my application is already marked to be assigned to case officer in August.
Please ask your staff to provide us with realistic & honest answers. There is something going on behind the scenes which obviously doesn’t look nice.
Yours sincerely,
Kay
