Latest Citizenship Timeline - adults only

Hi

I applied in April 2022 and received approval email in July 2022. Exactly 3 months for the process. No CO email or any other interaction. Got a pretty straight forward case.

Certificate on hold due to travel plans.

Sounds like you're living in a perfect world

Congratulations!

I applied (paper application) in early July 2021 at the Auckland office but no news till now. Patience is being tested but too much!

I also applied in July 2021 through online but no news yet. Hopefully we may hear in next 1-2 months.

Please do keep me updated if you get any update.

All the best

I applied on 18th November, 2021 but surprisingly I received my citizenship approval confirmation email on 14th July, 2022 (way earlier than my expectation).

Looks like timeframe is also reduced significantly as updated in the below weblink:
