我朋友几年前因为打人（不是女人）被判刑了，判的是家禁和社会服务，但现在离被判刑已经超过3年，而且一直都在新西兰工作，表现也很好。他已经PR满5年，请问他这样情况可以申请入籍吗？

没人能解答吗？

不太确定 但是我不认为可以 因为home detention 和 imprisonment 应该是平级的 那么就应该是7年还有判了几年也没说 5年以上的话那就坑了

Convictions
Except in very rare circumstances, you will be disqualified from meeting the good character requirement if:
you have been in prison for five years or more; or
you have been sentenced to an indefinite term of imprisonment capable of running for five years or more; or
within the previous seven years you were subject to a sentence of imprisonment of less than five years; or
within the previous three years you were convicted of an offence but did not receive a sentence of imprisonment.

您好，根据Citizenship Act 你朋友现在本身不符合申请条件，但是在申请过程中，case officer 还是可以按照case by case 的标准来衡量good character requirement, 理论上来说申请应该是不可以通过的，毕竟home detention 是imprisonment 的一种，量刑标准是两年以下，但是有时候也许满足相关条件可以申请exception to policy 的。
