Why do Citizenship Applications take so long?.

Factors that can affect the processing time of your application include:

• whether you have submitted a complete application, including all the supporting documents.
• how promptly you respond when asked for more information or documents.
• the time it takes to check the information you have provided.
• the time it takes for information from other agencies, usually for character and national security requirements.
• for applications for evidence and citizenship by descent, the time it takes for the postage of your citizenship document.
