Citizenship by grant statistics and automated checks

PradeepM made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for PradeepM to read a recent response and update the status.

From: PradeepM

Kia Ora Department of Internal Affairs,

Thank you for your service. I have following requests.

1. What is the total number of unassigned and processing applications in workstream 1 at the time of providing this information?

2. What is the total number of unassigned (and possibly processing) applications in workstream 2 at the time of providing this information?

3. Could I please request status of applications submitted between 15th July - 15th August 2023 in each workstream ? ( if possible countrywise )

4. What is the total number of applications that were submitted in August 2023 have been moved from workstream 2 to workstream 1?

5. Will an application fail automated check if applicant ticked YES for a question - “have you ever had to return money to any government agency? ( IRD, WINZ etc). If applicant has ticked YES and has paid back the money, Will system logic fail the automated check despite all other checks have been passed? (example: An applicant has to return some tax to IRD due to increase in salary or due to payroll error)

6. Are external checks part of the system logic (automated check) or done only manually during full assessment of the application?

7. I have seen responses of other OIA requests (for example: 2322 - 0078), some of the applications are approved in workstream 2 without moving in other workstreams. Why is that ?

8. How many LISOs are currently allocated for workstream 1 and 2?

Yours faithfully,
PradeepM
