Subject: Official Information request - Citizenship application processing delays causing frustration

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
Dear Team Leader
The application processing time taken is causing a great frustration among all the applicants .it is surprising that still people who applied in 2020 are waiting to know the outcome of their application.
Will you please tell that :
1. Is there any staffing issue that is causing delays?
2. Is it processing time taken which is causing delays?
3. Why even allocation to a case officer is taking several months?
4. Which month applications are being processed now?
5. How many applications you received from 1.1.21 till 30.9.21 ( both online and off line) in all the offices throughout the country?
6 How many online and offline applications in all the offices have been proceeded this year since 1.1.21?
7. How many staff members are working every month and how many applications are processed by an office on a average per month?
Kind regards

Yours faithfully,

Rakesh
