Latest Citizenship Timeline - adults only

Congrats! That must be the best Christmas present :-D

Just contacted the Citizenship Office and was told my application is not yet allocated to any officer.

Considering Xmas is in a few days and many people would actually finish early before Xmas, we can safely assume that most Feb-21 will be processed in the new year.

I didn’t expect the Department is working today but they apparently do.

Just got an email to confirm the details. That’s more than 10 months from lodgement.

The queue is now moving to Feb-2021.

Congratulations ��!! Finally your wait is over.

Thank you Judging by your timeline I'd estimate another 3 - 4 weeks or so. The Department website said 1-2 months.

I applied in person at Wellington office, around a week before you. So I think you would probably see an email from them soon

Note though, if you applied by post, it's actually the date that application fee was deducted being the lodgement date. Not the date when you first sent your application pack by post.

That is because their policy stated that: "Presence is calculated from the date a completed application is received by the Department, together with the required fee. For the avoidance of doubt, the date for applications made online is the date the application is received in Wellington."
