An application for naturalisation from the person referred to by the Deputy was received in the citizenship section of my Department on 22 May 2003.

Applications for naturalisation are currently taking approximately 18 months to process. Consequently, it is likely that the application of the person concerned will be finalised in late 2004. As soon as I have reached a decision on the application for naturalisation, I will inform both the applicant and the Deputy of the outcome.
