Request,
there are over 26,000 residents waiting to become New Zealanders. Even when an application has been submitted correctly, the Citizenship Office's online citizenship timeframes webpage currently states 94% of applicants are granted citizenship within 19 months
Soo poor system of assessment 😢
Few of applications get result with in 2 to 6weeks but most of application's waiting time around 1 to 2 years that very frustration for Applicants.
Requesting you for improve assessment system please. So people would get less waiting for assessment.apologise if any thing wrong with my (request)comment. What it's sound of common(immigrants)public who's completed all requirements for become New Zealander but still waiting.
2 year ago process time just 2 to 6 months time 2 year ago. I am worried about when RV2021 ( 1,65,000 immigrants all together get residency by labour government in covid) holders will start apply for citizenship by next year then time frame would be 4 to 5 years as per current situation. Please through light on it..
Do some effect to reduce process time.
Frustrated applicants while calling to DIA about processing there application than they got just one answer 18 to 20 months waiting..
Is there department doing something for reduce process time? (Requested)
Your obediently
Kulwinder singh
