Petition Make it easier for commonwealth soldiers to obtain uk citizenship
commonwealth soldiers that serve in the British army have to after 4 years have to do a life in the uk test and also with pay almost a 1000 pounds to gain their uk citizenship. Remember these are the same soldiers who done tours of Afghanistan, fought and defended this country with their blood.
More details
Even after years of service you still have to apply ILR or face the risk of being kicked out a country they fought for even got life changing injuries for and also paid taxes for all these years. A refugee now have to go through less process to start here than a ex serving commonwealth soldier this is very shameful and something needs to be done thank you.
