Hi guys and gals,
is this crystal clear now ?
When did most of you lodge application for residency ? At the ITA stage ? I think so..
......and that means most of you on this forum are mostly before 21 April 2005...and that means most of you on this board are 3 years to citizenship !!!
Well done guys and gals !!
:P :P
If still not crystal clear...do contact the NZ Citizenship Office
Department of Internal Affairs and clarify with NZIS again.....

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you again for your enquiry.
When the Citizenship Office states 'applied for residency', we are referring to the date when you lodged your application for residency with the New Zealand immigration Service.
Yours sincerely
Client Information Officer
