Closed Change immigration Rules and accept full time study in UK as proof of English

Closed on

My son is 18 years old and has 7 years of full time study in UK. He is first year at University now and has ABBBB in Higher Mathematics,English,Physics,Chemistry and Biology.His application for British Citizenship has being refused because had No prove of Speaking and Understanding English Language.

Please help our immigrant children, who have being taught in English and have learned the British values, not to be humiliated and accept their years of study in this country as proof of English. After seven years of study in the United Kingdom it is unacceptable to be asked to give one more test to prove they can speak and understand the English language. Please sign this petition to change this abusive rule and help our children. Thank you for taking your time to read my petition.
