Just find a female of new zealand nationality and marry her, or change your skin colour and live in a garage with all your 6 children you have had in the illegal years you have been living here, get on tv with a medical problem, cry and you will get citizenship pronto. Hey J it took years for richard o brian to be accepted into this country and he had to fight for it. Plus J don't bother becoming a citizen if you don't like the delay go to australia, oh wait, they have a stricker entry. So first get nz citizenship then go there or any where else in the world where our passport is more neutral than sooooo many other countries.
