Re: Citizenship timing 2012
Went to our Citizenship ceremony yesterday, there were 518 of us from 65 different countries. It was great and I am proud to call myself a New Zealand citizen. I know it is not everyones cup of tea, but we had a blast
It is five years and 17 days since we migrated to New Zealand and although we have had our ups and downs during this time, this was definately an up for us.:beer: |

It is five years and 17 days since we migrated to New Zealand Congratulations Nero:drinkwine: How did you manage to have your paperwork processed and go to a ceremony only 17 days after being here 5 years? Please tell us your secret! We were told we couldn't submit the application till the 5 years had passed. Then most people on this thread have taken 3-6 months to get citizenship. |

Well..... after 9 years of living here, tomorrow the 4 of us will be citizens.
It took about 4 weeks for the paperwork and then about 6 weeks waiting for the next ceremony. I am really looking forward to the ceremony and becoming a Real Kiwi. Gill and Rob |

Cheers - you do not actually have to be in NZ for a full year (for the 5th year) as long as you have been in the country for something like 260 days. You can check whether you meet the criteria by going to http://www.dia.govt.nz/web/cctool.ns...nship?OpenForm Hope this helps |
