Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

Can you please answer the following questions related to citizenship by grant applications?

1. A table that has the following details for citizenship by grant applications submitted between 16 June 2024 and 18 June 2024?
- Date Received at DIA
- Date Processing
- Workstream
- Date of Outcome
- Outcome/Status

2. A breakdown of all of citizenship by grant applications received between 16 June 2024 and 18 June 2024 grouped by country of birth, current workstream, and their current status (Approved, Processing, Unassigned, Withdrawn, etc.)?

3. The number of applications received under sections 8(7)(a) and/or section 9(1)(c) in June 2024 and their current status, including allocated workstream?

4. State the current mean and median processing times in each workstream?

5. Clarify if processing times in each workstream are from time of submission or time in the workstream -- i.e. would stated total processing times be consecutive where an application is moved from one work stream to another (e.g. time in workstream 2 plus time in a subsequent work stream)?

6. Clarify the difference of the outcome categories 'approved' and 'submission'? Is the latter the same as 'approved submission'?

Yours faithfully,
Jack
