    The presence calculator still gives me "We cannot calculate if you meet the presence requirements for New Zealand citizenship by grant."

    I see that you applied in May instead April last year, any light you can shed on this? Thank you!
    Just a quick update - my calculator turned green this afternoon. Quite amazing that the result would even change within a day, and then I submitted my application...

    Here's the previous two months worth of processing. Everything older than September 2024 is now allocated for processing (and there's only a handful of September 2024 applications still unallocated), and everything older than February 2024 has been decided.

    The other noteworthy takeaway is a significant drop in applications received in April 2025, compared with both March 2025 and April 2024. This could well be due to the Covid border closure. Need to see how many applications are lodged this month and next month to be able to say for sure, but it is 5 years since the pandemic started.

    You reckon they removed automated checks? The March 2025 suddenly have less fast approvals unlike Feb 2025.

    If anything, that could be an indication of an automated check being added! We've seen before that they can move older applications into the "fast approval" bucket, and if they are, then the older ones will be finalized before the newer ones.

    The other thing to consider would be the April public holidays coming one after each other this year.
