January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[hakk723]

based on mid 2024 data (taking a lot longer for them), they are making approximations I feel

Jan is the fastest IMO

So you're saying it's possible that new applications are being cleared faster than the backlog? Seems weird but fingers crossed lol
