Subject: Official Information request - External and Internal Check for the 2023 application

[You don't often get email from [FOI #28339 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

- Could you kindly explain what the External and Internal Checks involve for the 2023 Citizenship application?

- How often are these checks conducted on an application?

- Are these checks done after the Case Officer or LISO has confirmed the details and completed the identity verification?

- Is there a reason why the DIA is unable to provide a specific timeframe for completing the External and Internal Checks?

- If possible, could you please share the processing or training material for LISO regarding External and Internal Checks?

- After each system upgrade, are the backlog applications rerun for the automated checks?

Yours faithfully,

Josh
