An application for a certificate of naturalisation from the person referred to in the Deputy's Question was received in the Citizenship Division of my Department in August 2007. The Citizenship Division is currently commencing further processing of applications received in late 2007. The average processing time from application to decision is currently 23 months. More complicated cases can at times take more than the current average while an element of straightforward cases are now being dealt with in less than that time scale. Applications are dealt with in chronological order as this is deemed to be the fairest to all applicants.
