Congratulations Jazz77, did you receive an update when you had a case officer assigned? or was the first thing your received the ceremony invitation?
Did you apply in Auckland or Manukau Area?
What checks are done for citizenship? Apart from travel movements/presence requirements and NZ police check?
Quite a lot of checking happens behind the scenes. Take a look at the Citizenship Guidance Document for a general idea.
