Citizenship Timeframe Delays Reasons?
Sun made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Sun to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Sun
Dear Department of Internal Affairs,
Please answer:
1. As covid-19 is the main reason of backlog. We are still in level 3. Also its not a essential work as per department despite thousands of backlog.Will the timeframe increase?
2.Since when New Zealand has change timeframe to give Citizenship in 6.5 year to 7 years. Isn’t a long time for someone who has spend 5 year plus 2 years in waiting to get citizenship?
3. As you say new system is second most reason for backlog. I want to know more about this system as it is almost 2 years old system now.
4. Since in every response department is not guaranteed of reduction of timeframe. Then how come the steps and remedies department has took is impacting in positive way?
5. Most of staff been hired is for clearing backlog of paper application however Paper application are still being received then when the online application will get preference?
Yours faithfully,
Sun
