09 November 2022
Yesterday Oz Kiwi representatives met with Andrew Giles, Minister for Citizenship, Immigration & Multiculturalism at Parliament House, Canberra. Discussions focused on the review of New Zealanders rights and processing delays for visa and citizenship applications.
We cannot disclose the details of the discussions. However, we are working to ensure the review delivers positive changes.
Earlier this year Andrew Giles announced that 370 additional staff are processing visa and citizenship processing staff have been recruited since the election.
