Dear Official Information,
Thank you for your response.
I was informed that auckland council only do 'celebration' for those who have been granted the citizenship before 1 August and that they wont be doing the oath of allegiance, which I think is unfair because i think taking the oath of allegiance is the most important part of the citizenship ceremony or 'celebration'.
DIA only send invitations to those who have not received their citizenship certificates via mail or who have been approved after 1st August.
For those who have been approved before 1st of August and recieved the certificate via mail will not be receiving any invites from DIA and not be taking the oath of allegiance.
Which I think is unfair.
Yours sincerely,
Joyce
