It still says that I met the requirements for citizenship by grant.
For curiosity though I log in INZ account and now the latest visa I could see is a resident visa granted in 2016. I remember distinctively that there used to be 2 residence class visa applications (resident visa in 2016 and permanent resident visa in 2018) on that portal.
22/1/2022: Today would have been our eligible date to apply if we hadn't travelled for 20 days during our first 12 months of our residency. This afternoon I checked the Presence Calculator and there it was the most anticipated notif that we've been anxiously waiting for. Underneath the cruel "You do not meet...", there's a new line saying "Check again in February 2022". We're so excited!!!
My 5 year anniversary isn't til March 2022. In November 2021 when I checked the presence calculator it says I do not meet the requirements. (did not say to check again at xxx) In December when I checked the presence calculator again, it says check again in January 2022. In January it now says to check again in February 2022.
I was out of NZ for 37 days more than the minimum days (240days) on first year.
I have received email respond from DIA and this is what they said about the presence calculator:
"If you do not currently meet the presence requirement, the tool calculates whether you will meet within the next three months.
You will need to use the calculator tool again next month."
Another Tuesday without news… reading from Geekzone it seems like they only send approval emails out weekly on a Tuesday.
Anyone who just got citizenship approved recently? Could you please do me a favour? Can you try the presence calculator and see what the results say?
I'm waiting for my NZ passport. I ran the Presence calculator today, the system shows me "You currently meet the presence requirements for New Zealand citizenship by grant."
No, for me it still shows that I currently meet the requirements.
Has it always displayed the same results for you? Did you apply under Samoan category?
Thank you, so that means even when you have an approval email, the calculator results might still show the same results. I asked this because there is a guy posted few days ago asking why his calculator changed from “eligible” to “not-eligible” while waiting for the process to complete.
[QUOTE=l00k;596547]No, for me it still shows that I currently meet the requirements.
