Decision to form an IMT for Citizenship Office

John made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs

Department of Internal Affairs did not have the information requested.

From: John

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

It’s all over the media that Immigration New Zealand has formed an IMT (Incident Management Team) to speed up the visa processing.

Under the OIA, I would like to ask:

- Have DIA and Citizenship Office considered creating an IMT to speed up Citizenship by Grant applications?
- if yes, please provide the IMT operation model, number of staff and work streams
- if not, why not? What are the reasons that an IMT was not considered.

- Does the Citizenship Office has an external agency monitoring the work towards reducing the backlog? (PSC, DPMC and etc).

- Any Reports and or Memo(s) (in 2022) sent to the Service Delivery and Operations (SDO) Deputy Chief Executive regarding the performance and progress of the Citizenship Office towards reducing the Citizenship by Grant applications backlog.

- Any Reports and or Memo(s) (in 2022) sent to the General Manager Services and Access regarding the performance and progress of the Citizenship Office towards reducing the Citizenship by Grant applications backlog.

- Please provide all the assessment templates that Citizenship officers use to assess Citizenship by Grant applications that failed the automated checks.

Yours faithfully,

John
