Latest Citizenship Timeline

[LemonAndPaeroa]

Doesn’t seem like a whole lot to me! Presence, character & language;

Presence from travel movements & visa status

Character NZ agencies check unless you’ve lived overseas recently which seems unlikely

Language in interview, employer doc etc or test results

hi catash good to hear from you again. I remember our timeliness has been similar for residence, pr and citizenship. good luck!

yes indeed i still remember you

But i just hope that im as lucky as you with regards to citizenship hahaha
your approval come in quick lol

[jamboree787]

Yes, correct. Most of the checks would already have been done when the applicant got a Residence visa. These are routine checks and this is shown by quick approval of the in-person applicants. They also have a major discrepancy between the processing of in-person and online applications.

Interesting you said that, as I and the OP applied in person and heard nothing so far...
On the other hand, there are few people posting here with approval come within 3 weeks.
There is also an applicant got approval in 5 working days.

I applied online in July/2020, still waiting.
What a joke

Do you know if there is a case officer allocated to your application yet?

I'm not aware.
Seems like people that applied in June are getting their approvals this month.

I’m in the same boat. Applied 7 Jan 2021, in person. No communication from the office so far.
