Dear Auckland Council,

 

As we know before the COVID-19 situation the timeframe for the citizenship
was 3 to 5 months. As i understand during COVID-19 you make the time frame
to 5-10 months little longer which is acceptable due to lockdown
situation.

 

Now the COVID-19 situation is properly handled by the government, election
finished and the businesses are going back to normal but your time frame
is still the same. Can you please tell us when the Citizenship department
will go back to normal timeframes and also can you please explain the
breakdown of 5-10 months timeframe you need for so everyone have the clear
picture regarding the timeframe.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Prashant Makhijani
