Citizenship Applications Timeline for By Grant Applications 2020-2021
Emily Hughes made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs
The request was partially successful.
From: Emily Hughes
Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
Reference : https://www.govt.nz/browse/passports-cit...
As per your responses on FYI, you are telling people that you are working effortlessly on reducing the processing time for citizenship applications by implementing number of ways such as hiring more staff, etc. but as new page was added into Citizenship Website on 28 Sept 2021 (Link attached) , it doesn't seems that the processing times are decreasing instead of that the processing timeline is increasing (13 to 16 months).
Can you please explain why processing timeline is increasing after those efforts ?
Can you please also tell that currently Case Officers are working on which month applications ? For Example : Jan 2021
Yours faithfully,
Emily Hughes
