An application was received by my Department regarding the person to whom the Deputy refers on 11 October 2004. The average time for processing applications for naturalisation is 24 months. However, as the processing of applications made on behalf of minors is less complex than those made by adults, the processing time for such applications can be significantly shorter. I will inform the Deputy and the applicant of my decision on this application as soon as the process has been completed.
