NZ citizenship processing time
Hi,
I've just lodged my applicaiton for NZ citizenship after living here for 5 years. The DIA website says it could take up to 4 months to process. Just wondering if anyone has got theirs in shorter time than that?

IS it likely you'd qualify for PR once there?

We wouldn't. It's the age thing for us.

Re: NZ citizenship processing time
No. I don't think so. It;s the time to process the application & then you have to wait for your council to notify you of an available slot for the citizenship ceremony.
