No dilemma for us either. We'll be supporting England.

Got my ceremony date in the mail today, which will be on 16 August at Auckland Town Hall

Pretty quick turnaround as well, the date is just 2 months and a bit after receiving approval

Not long to go then.

Our friends had their citizenship ceremony last Thursday so we went along to support and congratulate. It's a happy day.

I'm looking forward to it actually, the letter said there will be 500 people attending the ceremony (excluding guests ect)

Do you remember how everyone was dressed when you attended with your friends? The letter states high dress standard but not sure what that is in Kiwi standards

Hi there, I'm new to this site, been in NZ for 4 years and wondered if anyone knows if you can pre apply for citizenship or do you have to wait until your 5 years is up until you can put in your application?

Hiya,

As far as I understand, you can't apply for pre-citizenship, and you can't put an application in unless you're fully eligible.

The DIA has a helpful online calculator to find out if you're eligible or not:

http://www.dia.govt.nz/web/cctool.ns...nship?OpenForm

I was eligible under the 3 year rule, since my PR application has been accepted prior to 21 April 2005.

All the best,

Jen
