Mine was back in 2000. I can't remember exactly but it took around two months back then. Good luck to current applicants.

@Sid72 This intrigues me. What more info do they need on top of what you provided during the application process?

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

That's crossed my mind too.

There was a mention about an interview, wherein they'd need to cite the originals of the submitted documents.

Wow that sounds odd given they should have all of the information on record already.

BTW I saw an article the other day (on RNZ I think) that suggested the amount of applications has actually decreased and the delays are actually just a backlog caused by COIVID disruptions. Which is at odds with what I was told by my own DIA interactions.

Nothing much , it was just to confirm your personal details are correct like name, dob etc. I think thats the standard procedure they are following whosoever file is getting picked up.

I applied online in October 2020. Have heard nothing.

I wasn't aware you could apply in person.

BTW are you sure your friend only waited 3 months? Seems at odds with everyone else's experience - unless of course he knows someone who could pulls some strings.

Update for those following the timeline.

I just had my approval email and am waiting on the ceremony. I applied mid-September 2020. Other than a generic email asking for confirmation that my name and other details were correct, I had not other notifications or correspondence until an hour ago when I got my approval email.

Need to wait for a ceremony invite now
